I'm appauled at the logic.

What makes you think Microsoft wouldnt go full digital soon after? Now, they know they cant do it that easily. Retailers won a big victory to the future of their business.
Anyways why do you care? You can go fully digital regardless. The beauty of it is you now have a choice.


I think the point he is making is about the future.  Microsoft were offering a way for retailers to be involved in digital through the sale of a disc.  For people that choose to go digital this generation they will not buy any games from retailers as they don't have that choice.  I'm off digital next gen for convenience so retailers will not be getting a penny from me.  I'm ahead of most in the decision to move but the change is coming and retailers will be left out cold now.    Its irrelevant now as that paths gone, perhaps in future the option will become available again in a slightly modified manner.


They were only doing that so the retailers would carry their console and wouldnt completely block it. I dont know why anyone would go and buy their digital copies in the shop for the old Xbox1 model. There was no point. Its not like you could resell the disc.
