Yes, I agree with the article.

One thing I find the worst --- digital preorders! Like the download will sell out.

If I decide to buy a game Day1, I simply buy it two days earlier to preload it and have it ready on release. But those games were only a select few, and after the disasterous launches in the past months, I decided to wait for reviews and user feedback prior to each purchase...
I mean, if I waited for a game 12-18 months, a few more days won't kill me...

digital is the one place pre-orders makes sense. 

my interest isn't slow but still,. a 50Gb game takes quite a long time to download.  with digital pre-orders the game starts downloading 4-5 days before launch day meaning i can play it as soon as it comes out instead of waiting 8 hours or whatever.

i almost never pre-order things but with digital my pre-ordering is on the rise.   last year i only pre-ordered destiny and lbp3.  after how awesome that experience went i'm going to pre-order the order 1886 and bloodborne for sure.

No, you misread, I said I'd buy (preorder) a couple of days in advance. But it is ridiculous that right now you can preorder Uncharted 4 or Until Dawn (among others).

And I will continue to do so for games that I MUST HAVE day one. But I'll definitely wait for the questionable ones (Ubisoft, online-oriented, unproven developers etc...)
