Sony more open-minded about Physical Media than Nintendo and Microsoft?

In a market where Steam can have a massive 125m+ active users world wide through a digital only gaming platform, no it won't. Sorry that your internet is the way it is, and I hope that Nintendo makes accomidations for you, but those accomidations will definitely not be physical game media.

The world average internet connection speed is 3.9 mb/s man.  Even if you're an active user of Steam, that doesn't mean you're able to make full use of it. A 40 gig game which would be quite common for AAA titles would run in at about a full day trying to download.  Internet caps don't help either.

2 full days If the 24 gig halo patch was anything to go by. Delays on the sever end don't help us with slow internet. Digital only for a major company is still a long way off, no point cutting out potential  and current consumers
