| SpokenTruth said: Sorry man but it won't be a digital only console. There is just too much incentive to maintain a joint physical + digital distribution sysm. Keep in mind that CD's and DVD's/Blu-ray's are still being sold despite the popularity of downloadable and streaming systems. And don't bring up the patent. I can match that with 100 patents that they file every year that never materialize. Look up their patents on holographic storage. |
Is this insider info or are you just speculating? Because I'm 100% sure it'll be digital only. There is more incentive to be digital only.
I don't need to bring up the patent. The patent is literally the least relevant indicator that the NX will be digital only. I can bring up My Nintendo being quoted by Iwata as being a core aspect of the NX platform, My Nintendo which only rewards and awards digital purchases and content. I can bring up a quote by Miyamoto explaining how digital media and specifically downloading software is what ushered the change to forming a unified platform. I can bring up Reggie dodging the question of if physical media will stay by saying that there will always be a physical "thing," but not talking about media. I can talk about how the unified platform Nintendo has confirmed for years won't work with physical media when a handheld literally cannot accept the type of disc media home consoles use as a standard.
It's going to be digital only. And it's going to be glorious.
