These seems Crap,
Why does a digital future mean DRM for disk games now?
Why does a digital future mean digital games need to check in every 24 hours?
Its unneededunwanted DR. plane and simple,

I already explained this. Its to get people used to the lack of consumer rights that inherintly come with digital and yes to introduce unwanted DRM.

There is no need for DRM on digital games obviously as the moment a game is downloaded its tied to your account. DRM has always been the physical answer to a digital model. 

DRM and digital games downloaded to a single account = the same thing.

 

Surely a better way to get consumers use to it, would be to have lower digital pricing and have them slowly convert from disk to digital, And are you saying that i we can play digital games on xbox one without having to check in every 24 hours?

 

Sony said that Vita is now 60% digital, seems like converting people this way is working for them, no massive outcries there

I believe MS also wants a more "closed" system than Sony though. Or at the very least are being far more aggressive in their pursuit of conforming consumers.

And yes Sonys business model with digital does seem to be working. Id argue they are certainly going about things better than MS. Not to mention who knows what was happening behind the scenes. The roadmap for X1 was laid out years ago and MS may have thought Sony would follow a very simmilar business model as them, thus lowering some of the push back and negative press they are getting as they are the only ones this aggressive.
