| thismeintiel said: What a horrible argument. The market decides these things, not the companies who make the players. If CD and DVD/Bluray sales dried up, no one would make the players anymore. The same goes for home consoles. If the market decides it doesn't want to go digital only, no console maker would be dumb enough to go that way, otherwise those who prefer physical discs will go with your competition. And those who prefer physical are the vast majority, so no one is going to do it. Well, someone might, but they will fail. |
The market has already decided it wants to do digital. CD and DVD/Bluray is lower than it's ever been, and the only reason they still exist is for collector value for an increasingly niche audience and that they still can. The market has already chosen digital there. When the NX goes digital only, there won't be a mass exodus, there will be a mass unflux because a console finally modernized.
125 million+ Steam users are already all digital on PC. They aren't the vast majority, and they'll grow less and less as physical is weeded out in favor of digital, starting with the NX next year. It'll do to consoles what the ipod did to music. And no one will look back.
