I'm glad he's so in love with the ideas.

90% of consumers aren't though so what he says doesn't really matter.

Sorry but there is whole market of digital distribution that is thriving.  You do realize that over 50% of pc software game sales is now digital.  I hate to break it to the collectors but you are the minority and your numbers are getting smaller by the day.

Well here's the thing. CONSOLES AND PC GAMING ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Get it?

The reason consoles became popular even though they were less powerful was simplicity and convenience. Take those away and you might as well be a PC gamer, which is fine if that's what you want.

We'll see who the minority is after the first year of sales numbers come in.

I'm not denying they are different, I'm just pointing out the reason why ms isn't really that concerned with the backlash they are receiving (which they deserve).  They know the data and they know that whether you like it or not you are a vocal minority and a silent majority is what they are after. 

I'm sure the ps4 is going to sell better than the xb1, they got some good pr and the right price point, but don't kid yourself about where both companies are eventually headed.
