No... it isnt.  It is 2nd in both revenue and more importantly profits and will soon be 3rd.

Lets be honest here... this theory of yours is a load of nonsense, not even sure such a restriction would be legal and I am sure the dozen or more other licensing partners would have said no to such a suggestion.

If this was a fact, we would all know about it as it would be public domain. 

So what's ur sensible theory on MS enforcing such DRM of installing a 20gb game on ur 500gb non replacable Xbone HDD.. with activation through online, instead of using the disk for activation..  Just want to screw over xbox gamer, or earn a bit more money. 


Convenience.

There, that wasn't hard.

You need to come at this from the 360 experience angle and not the ps3 angle.  Installing and updating on the 360 is a rapid breeze compared to the PS3 (everyone with experience of both know this is a fact) and I have no doubt the One will be the same.

So I install a game, hell, I install 10 games... I play them and eventually I will delete them... whats the problem?  How many full retail games are you playing at once? I have Installed games and uninstalled them and installed them again in the past.  Not very often... but I have.  On the 360 the game install and the game saves are seperate, they will be here too.    I havent had a game disk spinning in my 360 for a very long time, I ALWAYS install.

What was it we used to say...? "swapping disks is SO last gen"

Now we dont... funny that.

Convenience.

Convenience to whom exactly?! Gamers? coz sure as hell, I dont see any gamer worth his salt embaracing or appreciating MS move on this DRM and online stuff. If its convience than why not leave the disc inside the system just for activation rather than connect online to play, still the game will be installed on HDD and will run as fast as it was intended. If MS was really wanted to eliminate the hassel of getting up from ur couch and removing the disc then they sure shouldnt have forced Kinect on to us.

If i wanted that kind of Convenience with DRM, I would go with Steam on my PC

and No! swapping DIscs is not "SO last gen" its ancient from PS2 era. and playing games on console without the disc is an excuse for forcing DRM and always online.

U know what funny thing is, when it comes to gaming, consoles has always been a "convinent" option over PC's DRM, thats why people choose consoles over PC.
