I just don't think it would work. Not in the U.S.

As of 1/14/2014 the average internet speed in the U.S. is 7.2 mbs. Yup, 7.2. At that speed, downloading even a 30 gb game would take you 10 hours. 50 gb games? 16.5 hours. That's a huge amount of time. That simply wouldn't work for enough people to make sense. Especially since places with slower internet tend to be lower income places where they would most benefit from a price drop.

The infrastructure just isn't there yet.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
