Of course there are different mentalities as to why. But I think specifically in this case, it's a report of a retailer ceasing Xbox One sales thus prompting extreme reaction from some of the Xbox camp.  Yes, I went there.

I don´t really understand the argument here. A retailer seizes sales of Xbox Ones because MS has made digital more attractive. In what way would it be less interesting to buy an Xbox One because they are giving away more games digitally? You really think their argument is valid? 

Yep.  I was right. 

The top selling consoles are the Switch and PS4.  So in theory (and generally proven in reality), retailers will profit more by allocating more "shelf space" to those consoles.  So in the short run when consumers are buying less physical copies of Xbox One games, retailers might as well use that space to promote BOTH hardware and software for the Switch and PS4.
