I'm SHOCKED Sony announced this before Microsoft did. Microsoft will likely follow suit rather quickly. Especially when a much higher percent of Xbox Series consoles are digital compared to PS5. I believe in the US it is over 50% digital only (no disc drive) for Xbox Series consoles and around 25% for PS5.

You're likely right based on Phil's path, but if Asha and MS really wanted to revive XB as they've said they'd like to, and return (the brands image) to a time when things were much better for XB, now would be a superb time to take this:

and throw it right back in SNY's face. Literally make the same video with XB top brass and title it the same. 

Sadly I really don't see anything like that happening, as MS/XB is probably celebrating right now.

That would be a big win for Xbox if they decide to keep physical game discs going into the next-generation. But even with the new leadership I'm not sure they would do that.
