Digital only console? If it happened, then... Oh boy...
To Sony. Please have more servers.

It's weird, isn't it? Destiny sets all types of PSN records, including the most day 1 sales of any game offered on PSN, ever, and there weren't widespread complaints about inability to download Destiny. Do you think it's fair to assume that the servers Evolution uses for DC, aren't the same as the ones Sony uses for PSN downloads?

Lol 2018 it's too late, if we trying to remember again, PS3 slim came on 2009 and that's 3 years after the released of the original one, and PS2 slim came on 2004 after 4 years released. Probably 2017 late we will see the slim version
Doubt it. The only way this would be true is if its a digital only PS4, perhaps cheaper, that's sold along side the current model.

Same here. But my reason for that is of an economical nature

laptop today rarely ships with drives ??? yes, but most are for general purpose laptop, for gaming laptop they still included one, or at least most of it. Yes they will be cheeper in the near future, but the article said they will use SSD instead of HDD so the article it self already defeat the purpose of having SSD on digital only consoles. Even if they include more bigger capacity of SSD the price will be very expensives. |
Huh? PC gaming is 90% digital.. I just bought a "gaming laptop" i7 with Geforce 750M... no drive..
Many $1000+ laptops do not have drives.. they aren't "general puprose"..
I doubt the SSD part.. it will be 2-3TB HD.. if it were an all digital console.
I do think digital purchasing will evolve on both consoles and become more cost effective.. That will lead the charge.. and by 2016/2017 Broadband speeds should have made a more substanial leap.. and availability will be better worldwide.

Predictions on 12/01/15 - Generation 8 Totals:
PS4: 85-95m
X1: 55-65m
WiiU: 20-30m
You cannot have a digital only console with an SSD in this day and keep the cost low. a 500gb SSD would make the console very expensive and I don't think the lack of Disk Drive would compensate fully for it.

Could be.
I do believe Sony & Nintendo should have stronger servers, to stay stable without any effective crash due to traffic or something, like it happened to Nintendo eshop got crashed last year christmas 2013, i dunno what else causes.
Oh yeah, i almost forgot, maintenance is annoying. I know, at least they need to fix it in case. xD
Only way to be digital only is for the players to be able to purchase elsewhere than the PSN Store. Otherwise they will have price control. Competition is good.
