I get it if you have bandwidth caps or sketchy/no internet, but as someone who has the box always connected and whose internet goes out maybe once a year for a couple hours, I would greatly prefer the original vision.
Once you go digital, it's hard to go back. All of my long-term games are bought digitally now. The only time I buy physical is if the deal is significantly cheaper or I know I'm playing the campaign for a week and never touching it again, but I would go total digital if need be.
There's just no comparison. I end up playing games longer/more frequently on my Xbox when I don't have to swap discs. Just say "Xbox: Go to Titanfall" or whatever and you're off and playing. If they could somehow not require my physical disc to be in the tray, we could talk. I wouldn't want to switch stuff on my PC either, so I don't know why I'd want to do it on my console.
I legitimately hate getting up and putting in discs now, as I'm spoiled and lazy. It's like not having voice commands. I could never go back to having to light up my controller and physically go around the console menus again. If you made me give up my kinect/voice control form anywhere in the room, I'd cut someone at this point. I think MS had it right, other than being able to afford 10-15% more oomph to the grpahics/CPU/whatever. People just don't like change and they like getting caught up in the hype storms. We sold our PS4 because we weren't using it more than 25% of the time (though we will likely get one again once holiday 2015 rolls around and there's more reasons to own both). The One was getting all the play time because of the "other stuff" associated with it (and Titanfall addiction), and now we're planning on buying another One for Destiny and Halo: MCC so we can play together.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
