Maybe this is how they are able to seamlessly transition to Online only gaming for their next system. I heard MS will still have XBox users behind the live subscription. But if they keep it at $40. I don't mind. since it also comes with free games monthly. I have no doubt both MS, and Sony will be discless next gen. It was pretty clear both wanted to go that route this gen. I think Blu Ray was added more for people that own movies. The popularity, and immense success of mobile gaming will be the biggest reason people will eventually accept it. Every year that goes by introduces newer gamers to the concept of just clicking an icon to play a game. By the time these kids are in their teens they will watch videos of kids reacting to todays consoles like how kids look at a walkman. I just wish there was a system in place of selling old digital games for credit towards newer games. That is my biggest beef with buying digital. |
I doubt digital only will be the next playstation, sony would be dumb to do that to get the exposure from competition from all around the industry. Whats the point of owning a console then?
