Of course MS believes a digital world is better. It means higher profit margins and more control over the product. In terms of business the endgame goal for any console manufacturer is digital only. Look at Steam and iOS.

That doesn't mean it's good for the consumer however and it will be a sad day when the disc dies.

Yeah but I dont have to be always online on Steam and iOS and they dont block physical games.

Indeed. And those are valid points.

But MS is positioning this console as the lead in to the digital age. Not to create a massive Hitler who wants to take your soul. The thing is most people who take the time to go on internet forums feel personally attatched to their consoles and believe companies owe them things. They dont.

MS isnt evil by any means by going this course and to claim they are is silly. Its simply a business model which they believe will lead to higher profit margins in the long run. That doesnt mean someone has to like it and when all is said and done people can vote with their wallets come November.

But this idea that MS is attacking people is strange. Its the business world ALL companies are out for the consumers dollar. They will find any way they can to grow their business.
