Would you buy a digital only console?

It's hard to say. There's a lot of general population :)

Second hand games are big business and the average internet speed of the non hardcore gamers is a lot lower. Yet they're also less likely to be collectors and more easily swayed by convenience. The only examples we have so far haven't exactly been flying off the shelves, pspgo and ouya.

...You made that up. There is absolutely no research supporting that what-so-ever because there's no rubric deciding who is a hardcore gamer and who has access to adequate internet speeds within that group as opposed to outside of it. PSP Go was a late revision of a system already falling in its sales that had no reliable way to be consistantly connected to the internet as it required wifi and had no data plan. Ouya was the Ouya. People need to stop using bad products as examples of the undesirability of good ideas.

The average internet speed is a lot lower than what an internet speed poll results into on this site.  Enthusiast gamer if you like that better than hardcore, whatever you want to call the segment that plays full priced games multiple times a week and frequents game sites.

PSPGO was late, yet was also boycotted by many retailers, definitely not promoted. Ouya was indeed the ouya.

Anyway what's different now, why would retailers promote a system that doesn't make them any money. And that world average internet speed is real, plus data caps are in a lot of places as well.
