As someone who remembers people laughing at the idea of download songs form MP3 players - that will take all day! And people who laughed at internet streaming - maybe someday, but the world isn't ready for it yet! I think a diskless model may be coming, but I don't think it will be out this holiday.

The retails would hold their breath and hold and refuse to sell Xboxes.  It's not the consumers that are the problem, it's the retailers that are holding back progress.  But's just a matter of time.

It's selling very well, it's making them money. Xbox One has an amazing line up this year, it will do fine.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the infastructure isn't there for a digital console to be successful in the U.S.

The average internet speed in the U.S. is 7.2 mbs. At that speed it would take 16.5 hours to download a 50 gb game. That's a very long time and like I said an average time.
