This is MS setting itself up for not needing new hardware... at least not uber powerful hardware.

They'd be able to focus on minor changes maybe just in appearance and solely focus on software upgrades.

Not a bad plan really. It would dramatically cut down on the barrier of entry for new gamers. No longer need $500 hardware. $99 "Xbox" in 5 years will be more than enough.

Of course then DRM will be a thing of a past too as its fully digital distribution.

Just takes the PR fail now and dramatic changes to get to the point in 5years where it won't matter to anyone.


DRM will not be a thing of the past once everything goes digital. All digitally distributed programs, movies, music and games will always have DRM. They have it now and will have it 30 years down the road. 

I'm actually not sure we are refering to the same thing when talking about DRM.  

It'll be a thing of the past as there will be no other option. What I really mean is the conversation about DRM will be thing of the past.
