Yes, I think console-only gamers will accept almost anything as long as they can play their games on a console. Just like Xbox owners accepted fee-required online play last gen and PS owners this gen. If Microsoft would theoretically buy the worldwide exclusive rights to all 3rd party JRPGs, most JRPGs fans would follow. If an industry forces you to accept a change, most people will follow. I am no exception. Steam basically forced the worldwide PC community to accept digital games if they didn't want to lose access to many PC games. Not all of them followed but millions did, including myself. Did we want it or ask for it? Nope. We had no choice. RE technichal concerns or limitations: I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft and Sony will find a (fee-required) solution for any technical issue. The shift to digital-only is still a few years away anyway.
I''m not saying I want consoles to go digital-only next gen, I'm just saying I will be suprised if they won't. If there will be a next gen in the first place.
