Digital being the future undermines the argument for the original Xbox plans, if anything. If they're so sure people are going to gravitate to that anyway, why force the issue? Why not just let it happen naturally? That way, people can just acclimate to it in their own pace, and it defuses the hostility.
Or even better, why not incentivize people to buy more digital content over time--i.e. through lower prices? Because it's easier to dump the issue on customers than do anything decisive about the relationship with retailers you supposedly hate so much? Because you have no problem charging $60 on digital copy and pocketing the difference?
You have all these developers coming out and saying Microsoft was punished for being bold, and how Gamestop is the problem. Yet they expect us, the customers, to shoulder the burden for them when it comes to doing anything about it. Kind of hard to feel sorry for them in light of that. :/
