The only region where this would make sense is South Korea where everyone has access to super fast internet but even there it really wouldn't make a lot of sense since they are mostly into PC gaming.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well it wouldn't make much sense in the US for another ten years. Google fiber (ultra fast and no data caps) is expanding very slowly.

I assume that is because its pricy? Its reasonably cheap here because we have 5/6 competing competitors plus i didn't even know what datacaps were before speaking americans

I don't think it will happen, at least not as quickly as you are suggesting. Too many regions in the world have crappy internet. I think they learned that they need to wait a few years before the world is ready for all digital. I don't think microsoft will really toy around with a disc less hardware option until possibly late in the gen. That will be the final remodel in preperation for a new gen where they will finally be able to do their digital era.

It's not really that pricey top package is a bit less then $100US a month Google is just not that interested in expanding it fast.

Not having capabilities in other regions didn't stop them from releasing in Europe where none of the tv functions worked as intended (not sure how well they work now after updates, etc).
Plus, digital is growing...even at 40gbs for a game, there might be some other kind of solution yet unexplored.

I agree digital is growing, and I agree that it may play out the way you are saying, but I just think microsoft won't do it is quickly as you suggest. I think it will be something they will do after the x1 has been out for 5 years or so as a way of testing the waters for a next generation.
The reason I think this is the way the public completely turned against them at the announcement. I think microsoft will want to put more space between the 180 and any future disc less hardware options. Thats my view anway...
It is possible but i don't see much value in it. Would be good for Microsoft & other publishers as profit margins can be higher on digital content.
Im not a big fan of prof. maybe im wrong but seems like alot oh anti xbox threads
