Wow the poll proves that people are pretty attached to their discs. Personally I love digital games. On PC they're almost always cheaper and more convenient.

It's not so much that as a switch from digital and physical to JUST digital is only possibly a net *loss* for the consumer.  Absolutely nothing is gained, there are precisely zero advantages for the consumer.  You can already buy digital games on consoles.  You can go all digital right now.  So all an all digital console would do is take away the all the benefits of physical games (trading, lending, reselling, physical collecting, etc) and provide absolutely nothing new.  

So why go for an option where you can ONLY do all digital when the current setup let's you go all digital, almost all physical, or an even combination of both.  Why give up options?  

Depends what you find advantageous I guess. I love not having to fiddle around with discs, especially now that games require a full install anyway. My kids can't scratch or break my digital copies and digital games can always be found way cheaper on PC (my main gaming platform). Now that you can get refunds for digital games I  have absolutely zero reasons to buy games on disc anymore.
