It was the end. NetFlix stock plunged from nearly $300 per share to about $50. Remind you of anything. This is because NetFlix doubled down on streaming and increased the cost of renting physical discs.
Similiar and yes slightly different to what MS is doing. I for one and totally excited on the doubling down on digital. I look forward to pre-ordering a game and have it download to my Xbox One and then at 12:01AM when the game launches it being already installed and ready to go. Remember the download can be done in advance of the actual release and the game just not be able to run until the launch date. I look forward to my son away at school to use all the games we have at home and no arguments about purchasing multiple copies, about what games he takes to school and what stays home for his brothers and I to play, etc. etc.
To add with all the hub bub about this the last month take a look at Wall Street. MSFT stock has basically performed exactly the same as the rest of the market and basically the same as Sony, Google and Apple.
Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
