Nintendo has like 99 bigger problems than their software media.

All three offer digital software downloads if that's all you want, so that's not a game changer for anyone.


You always do that. Someone talks about one aspect of something with multiple aspects, and you isolate that one aspect and act like they are saying that alone completely and singularly encompases what the thing they're talking about is about.

Yes Soundwave, standard console with only digital media is not a game changer for anyone. That's not even close to what the NX will be, so saying it's not a game changer is irrelevant. It's not a PS4/XBO/WiiU without a disc drive, and no one was ever claiming it would be. No, Nintendo aren't going to try and sell the NX on the basis of being digital only. No, the NX is not a game changer just because it's digital only. No, Nintendo isn't going digital do solve some giant problem with their software media. Being digital only is a means to an end. That's it. It's not the selling point. It's a screw in the machine. It's something absolutely nessecary to make the NX work. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Why don't you outline exactly what you think the NX's "membership program" is going to be and why it's so amazing? I doubt it will be as ambitious as you think it is. DeNA is helping them out, big whoop, DeNA is a small potatoes company compared to the likes of Microsoft and even Sony (still). 

Sony/MS have basically membership reward programs and full digital if that's what you want. Hell Sony even has a streaming game service (PS Now) that eliminates the need for game hardware altogether already up and running, not several years away. You can play PS1/PS2/PS3 etc. games on that.
