I don't quite get the last post. I feel like there are two approaches Sony could take. It could go for accessibility and convenience by making a digital-only console that's so cheap and easy that consumers are willing to sacrifice the security/flexibility of physical. Or it could go for an enthusiast machine where physical games are sold at a premium, hoping collectors and diehard fans pay for the privilege. A $1,000+ console that's digital only is the worst of both these worlds. Who would be lining up for that? |
Yes, but based on SNY and their launch base console and then mid gen Pro console, I don't see why they just can't or wouldn't do both.
Launch both an affordable unit and an enthusiast unit. The only difference would be that you don't have to wait until mid gen for the Pro.
If SNY can't justify discs at the sales price now, then add $10 to the cost of discs MSRP. Maybe it needs to be $20 extra, I dunno.
Either that, or if there's another type of physical media they can offer games on for cheaper, then great, do that instead.
Also, keep making a disc drive add on for BC. Charge whatever you need to charge to make it worth it.
