Music CDs still exist Disc based Videogames should too. Choice is a good thing.

this.   hell, they still sell records. 

Indeed. 

And IOS has never sold a physical game in existance and is rapidly overgrowing the home console market. Its clear many people are prepared for a digital future, even if core gamers are not. Me included.

i just can't see IOs and MSony as being anywhere close to the same thing.  ..and i'll sum it up with this.

free apps to make up 89% of 2012 downloads.

"In terms of the apps that consumers are buying, 90 percent of the paid-for downloads cost less than $3 each," Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner, said in a statement.

when money doesn't exchange hands the same rules just don't apply. i don't care if i can resell a free game and  $1 games are much more disposible than $60 games.
