I agree that a lot of the disagreements are over options, actually. Microsoft might have been accepted if they'd just offered the Kinectless SKU to begin with, and offered non digital options. Often for consumers it's the priciple of the thing, we just don't like to be told there's only one option when it seems like it'd be easy enough to give us more than one. I agree that the way you're proposing the industry could/has started going about it will convince some people, but convincing some people is not the same as consumer rights. I get that you don't care about digital or physical, but you're a fool for not caring. You don't have the same rights with a digital game as you do with a physical game. Until we can get all the legal crap sorted out, we won't be able to create a system that would allow for consistently enforcable digital retail management that simulates the rights of physical property and isn't exploited for the company's gain. Only then will universal adoption of digital happen.
As for what I'd honestly do? I'd refuse to buy the product. I don't want an external disc drive on my console, that's retarded. Why would you want an external disc drive anywhere? No exclusive could get me to buy the product. I'd pirate the games if I was that desperate, I'm not getting something that ridiculous. I notice you say "PS5/XB2" but make no mention of Nintendo? So then Nintendo isn't doing this bullshit? I'll buy their product then thank you.
