Here is the difference. iTunes was always digital only. There was never a time when you could go to a store, and buy an iTunes CD. There was never a time when you could purchase Angry Birds on a disc for your iPhone, and pop it into a drive. PS1, PS2 and PS3 games all released on disc. The people who bought them, unlike iTunes customers, can't get the next piece of hardware, and have their games move with them. Their games are useless now.
When you buy an iPhone 5s? That game you bought on iPhone 4 is still there, and runs on your new phone. No need to rebuy. With PS4? They COULD let you put in the game disc you bought, and then have it unlock the streaming version...but won't. Why? Greed. We all know the drive can at least read the title because of the upgrade program. They just don't want to do it. Apple doesn't screw people like that.
That's my problem.
