just let me deactivate a game by steam and sell it where ever i want.  thats my right as consumer

Clearly, you didn't read either. He was talking about playing OLD GAMES on OLD SYSTEMS. I was addressing that specifically.

The way Nintendo handled it was bad, but it's not like it's the only way to handle it. Again, look at Steam. There are no generations there. It's just one market place.

That's how digital on consoles will become. The NX's market place will just be the eshop, only with NX games added.

No problems with it, it makes games that are out of print available physically

No, it's not. Steam games are not separate from steam. There is no way of selling the game without transfering it to another account, which would necessitate the need for a market place within the marketplace, AND a Valve enforced way to delete the game from your HDD, including potential copies, which is absolutely not within your "right as consumer." Too bad.

you could just make games to giftcodes if you deactivate em. no problem... and the game doesnt have to be deleted it just could be deactivated

bolded: ok well, that is all well and good if EVERYTHING runs completely smoothly and there are no hiccups or problems at all starting from now until 20 years from now.

which we know is hardly ever the case. ill provide some examples. first of all, what if your console suddenly stops working and there is no way to retrieve the data on the console? all the sudden, you didnt just lose a piece of hardware, but an entire library of possibly 80+ games that you have to figure out how to get again. and what about the scenario where, you are  born in 2015, and in 2035, youd like to explore what kinds of games a (hypothetical) all digital PS4 had. again, we have to put trust into publishers to keep these games available for us and future generations. a user eariler mentioned pokemon stadium. if the N64 were all digital, would he be able to still get that game? maybe not.

also, what if the rights to some obscure niche games is not feasible? would they take on the cost of this upkeep just so a couple people can download the game a month? what about when a remaster (oh God, no!!) of an old game is coming out? would you put it past them to keep the older version still available? i wouldn't! again, way too much trust is put into publishers to do the right thing when we could reclaim our power by buying physical products and keeping them.

there are so many problems with this system you are talking about in so many aspects, and i have yet to see you properly address them. all you have said is that, "well if you download it you have it. badda bing badda boom, simple as dat" well, real life isnt that simple.

It would definitely have to be deleted, or someone could just reactivate it through nefarious means, and very easily. But sure, they could do gift codes. But that is a just a loop hole. The government can't force any company to require a gifting system, and that isn't a consumer right at all, and just because everyone knows it would be for selling games, on paper, it's just for gifting games, which someone could easily do in real life with real money.

So again, not happening.

One of the benefits of console gaming is the ability to pawn off unwanted games and acquire new-to-you titles on the cheap. Not a big fan of the biggest face of used games, though (GameSlop).

The wii shop channel wasn't shut down at all. Only the multiplayer. Shutting down a subsection of a market place is completely different from shutting the whole thing down, with reguards to the 360.

It's not "only a matter of time" for the rest of it.

Shoud all physical media disapear for video games I could see a new market place forming for people to buy and sell acounts
