Why doesn't MS make the Xbox One digital only?

Now both of these things can change but we aren't there yet for enough people. People's internet will get generally faster (+higher caps/unlimited), that is obviously just a matter of time. For my second point, retailers could be offered a significantly larger percentage of the hardware sale, this would obviously affect the hardware manufacturer's bottom line but they should be making large savings on software manufacture and distribution which could offset this.

Well. Microsoft could also partner with Internet providers who have download caps in each respective countries and offer all the data over Xbox Live! As "Data Free".
A few internet providers here in Australia already do that such as iiNet/Westnet/Netspace and probably soon Internode. - Hence I can download as much as I want regardless of my download limit. :)
Same thing with Steam too, most of that data isn't counted due to avrious deals internet providers have done.

Essentially, if there is demand and it can be a big sale point, internet providers will follow, it's a chicken vs the egg game essentially, someone has to make the first move, but it can be a sale point for providers across the globe to bring in more customers.
