Call of Duty WW2 Had Record Day 1 Sales on PSN. More than Destiny 2.

We are at the tipping point. Hopefully we can get a Digital Only console soon. This also opens up the possibility of mobile form factors. If next gen is 3 years away, I wounder how comfortable Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo will be? If we can reach 70% digital on big titles in developed nations by 2020, things could get very interesting.

Digital only consoles might be a bad bet even for next gen consoles, as digital only still has bad press.

However, we could start seeing digital only, cheaper models this gen. A 200$ digital only ultra-slim PS4 and 250-300$ PS4 ProSlim for holyday 2018 could definitely happen.

I would love to see that. I have only used the disk drive in my PS4's to see if they work. I am all digital on every medium. A cheaper, slimmer, quiter digital only PS4 Pro would be an great reason to retire the day one edition to the bedroom.

There is definitly a risk in even releasing both a digital only and physical media based console next gen. The safest bet is to stick with a physical device at launch. Even if physical is only 20 - 30% of game sales, those will most likely be sales to the core gamers, and they can tear a company down if they don't get what they want. See PS3, PS Vita, and XBO for examples.
