Msft tried digital only an ther was a revolt (warranted imo) -  Now that Nintendo is pushing in that directon, it is the best thing snce sliced bread- Digital only is terible for the consumer-   (as it relates to console gaming which is different than music, movies and even pc gaming, ESPECIALY if it is a Nintendo console)

No company tries to sell more stuff to the same people over and over again (and often nearly the same suff) than Nintendo-  I own all the disk in my home but i do not own all the digital downoads on my console-  I merely possess them temporarily at the whim of the console ower (Nintendo in my case) and possibly the software developer/publisher

It had nothing to do with being digital only. (which it wasn't) The revolt was around the console bricking and literally not working when you weren't online. That won't happen with NX. My Nintendo has already set up the infrastructure for a digital only library. Now we just wait.

Digital only is better for the consumer. It's not different from music, movies and PC gaming. That's a fallacy. Possessing digital games temporarily is a fallacy as well.

Being digital only means no used games which means no gamestop which means the vast majorty of gamers won't support it, since most uninformed consumers (aka, not us), trade games in towards new games.

The true reason for Xbox One failing was anti-used games. An all digital console takes that error to a whole new level.
