Playstation Tablet 1,770 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 So we just had data that XBox owners have a digital adaptation rate much higher than PS4 or Switch. From Matt, the insider dude. Lmao fuck this piece of shit if true. “ Honestly if you have an Xbox you should really try to buy everything digitally, if possible. Should pay off.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lynux3 2,225 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 (edited) Digital adaptation rate means nothing when you're more than 2x behind in user base when it comes to PS4/Xbox. If Xbox doesn't include a disc drive it just means it'll have a difficult time penetrating more markets. I'm not even worried about it and I'll still probably buy one.

MS cares more about their service profits, and a bigger cut bypassing retail. It looks they are willing to take the hardware sales hit, for greater profit. Lmao @ XBox. Never buying such a piece of shit. Hope the brand fucking dies. What a cancerous mass. Its the same DRM shit all over again.

PlayStation will be right there too one day and maybe sooner than we think. I'm not a fan either, but there's not much I can do about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's safe to say that Sony probably will be including a disc drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt basically hinted this is not the case for Sony. It's MS's bullshit leadership pushing the service crap, they'd probably prefer to forgo hardware all together and just stream services directly.

It's literally going to be the worst of its kind. They're using Xbox One S to power it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,308 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 In an alternate timeline, I wouldn't take that as bad news. But.......are you people aware of what's going on with the FCC right now? People are dumping cable and relying on internet for their television services. FCC has gutted Net Neutrality, and infrastructure investment has gone down as a result (even though they promised the very opposite happening). I expect the cable internet bill to offset the losses cable companies are having with people not buying their TV service. Net Neutrality means that ISPs are going to be fucking with the idea of tiered internet rates. They are going to go after streaming websites, and they are going to go after game downloading services. I'm not going to buy a disc-less console. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How would it be damage control if I'm the person they are targeting ? I have one pysical current gen game . I think it's too soon for it but it will happen eventually. For Ms and Sony . I'd expect the mid gen refreshes to be discless Quote Link to post Share on other sites
