Considering that most of the consumer base that would be interested in buying a new console has decent internet, you can't expect MS to lower profit margins for almost no gain by bundling in physical software. Look, I sympathise with you, but blaming MS is not right, especially when Sony and Nintendo have both done it this gen. There is a big chance digital is the future, so at this point console manufacturers will do everything they can to promote digital media. |
I'm not sure that's the case actually. I know at least in the UK, there are lots of places where the best internet connection you can get is a few meg. Until 2 weeks ago I was stuck on 5mb. It's now 36mb, but I don't think I'd have liked the prospect of such big day 1 updates before I could play my game. Heck a lot of people have 20gb monthly caps from ISPs here too.
