First of all, I don't know who "the big box guys" are, but I do know that I work at the biggest general electronics retailer in scandinavia, and that's how it works here. You sell stuff that doesn't make you money, because people get used to always going to your store when they need something, so in the long run, you make money of each customer. If you don't have the product they need, they go to a competitor and before you know it, you've lost a customer.
Customer retention is much more important than the 20$ we lose on a console.

If it really was like this every store would sell everything... there are some that this and their inventory increased to moronic levels that even if they profit on each item their bottomline is never satisfactory. So sure some product you may keep even if you don't have margin on it, but that only if it really brings customers that will buy more margin products, but the case when MS is killing off the items that give profit then they shall as well take of the ones that don't bring profit.

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.

I know and don't care that digital offering is there and people like it, as long as I can keep my physical I don't care others have options. So which point is getting over my head?
Your gone over the head is a coup out when you don't know how to arguee? Because I know that what market think is better doesn't make it better, still it make the product better to them, and talking on capitalism that is all that matter.
Sure man, go ask microsoft if they would like a bigger quantity of customer, sigh.
Nope I'm not debating physical vs digital, from the begining my point was countering the "digital games are forever while physical will burn in a generation". And Xbox is the thread base so Xbox was here from the beggining, you should be asking about if you are taking issue with the discussion because it involve xbox.
Funny you talking about losing a debate.

No one is asking you to accept Digital, you came out with negativity about going Digital and I just told you the benefits Digital has over Physical.
I am debating Digital vs Physical on all fronts. Weather Xbox or Sony do it better is all up inn the air, save it for another article.
If there's anything I am going to back in this thread is PC gaming because its been doing it right for decades.
