How will you be able to download the day one Patches expected with almost every game? Unless you have every game installed and updated with the launch patch (Which not everyone will have the space to do) Plus some times your own hardware can scratch and damage your own games. There are plenty of issues that you no longer have to worry about when going digital.

Companies do closed down, however a company closing down doesn't mean everything dies. Your Digital games will still exist in the Digital world it just means that company running the app will no longer be running the app. Also there are human rights. If a company decides to remove a game you paid for from your account there can be law suits. If you don't trust them than screen save your Digital Recepts.

One of my personal prime examples is my Super Mario Kart game's internal Battery no longer works, I can no longer save the game anymore. If Super Mario Kart was released Digital we wont ever have that problem. Half my NES games no longer work without me opening up the cartridges and attempting to fix them. 

Unless I'm a bit crazy none of my gen3 to 6 games need any patching and also my 7 and 8th gen games can work without patches, they are all playable straight from the disc without patching... I can't say the same about several of the launch window Xbox games because you had to patch it to remove the always online.

Man are you serious? So Human Rights now takes care of your digital game ownership rights?

You not being able to save doesn't make the game unplayable, also you can fix the issue.

So you are saying a Volkswagen Beetle is better than a Porsche 911 Carrera because it sold more? (Interms of better car no it isn't)

Quantity and Popularity never determines what is better.

We can argue that Xbox has better FPS and Racing games? We can Argue PS has better Action and Adventure games? All comes down to opinion. 

I personally think the Samsung Galaxy S8 is a much better Phone than the latest Apple Phones, yet Apple will always destroy the Samsung Galaxies when it comes to sales. Apple can basically make a bad product and it will still sell wonders. Hence why Sales never leads to better.

Nope. I'm saying the market certainly don't think Xbox is better. Also you gone a bit reaching on your fallacy, because you gone from comparing two direct competitors that sell at the same price against a Beetle vs 911... try opening a dealer and offering both at the same price and see if the Beetle would sell more then the 911 (also depending of the usage the Beetle would be better as well).

You can argue whatever you want, we know you would chose MS offerings against Sony.

But I'll wait for you to point to any objective evidence that shows Xbox is much better.

I think the point has gone over your head a little. Digital games are not going anywhere any time soon and its only getting bigger and bigger. I have tons of games and some simply don't work due to age or due to overuse. All Physical is to the industry is a Disc and a Case. That's all it is. No advantages aside from reselling them. (Now you can refund your Digital)

Digital Offers

Faster Load-times

Cheaper Game Prices (PC anyway)

No need to Store them

Cannot get Damage

Cannot get Stolen

Do not need the Disk to play the game

Bound to Accounts Allowing the use on multiple devices

You can also sue a company for taking away your paid digital games, hence why I said screen shot your receipts. Since I got into Digital more than 12 years ago I have not seen any company that would do that to there customers.

My Comparison has also gone over your head. What the Market thinks does not mean something is better. I told you I think the S8 Galaxy Mobile is a better Phone than the iPhone 8 and so does majority of the Phones reviews yet the iPhone 8 destroy it in sales. 

A Football team can have a lot more supporters yet the best team playing on the field might have the least amount of followers. 

You can compare any car comparison, the point is sales doesn't determine quality of a product. The best Cars also sell the least. 

Sure its good to have a huge amount of supporters and Sales with your product however from what I have learnt in life, Quantity never means Quality.

Aren't we debating Digital vs Physical? what's with you brining up Xbox? or is that your go to when you know your on the losing end to a debate?. Actually I am not surprise from you.
