    Designed car crash, aided by subsidized digital only console variants.

      No, because the digital uptake began as soon as digital copies of every game were made available on the 360. People like me have basically been digital-only since then. Digital only consoles didn’t start until generations later.

          I don’t need to read anything. I understand the benefits and also the drawbacks of digital licenses.

          To me, and to most people, the benefits - instant access, all games accessible without getting off your lounge, no possibility of losing/breaking discs, home console/family sharing, no “sold out” chance, among others - outweigh being able to re-sell and lend to people.

          These days even the physical prices are not much cheaper than digital, and digital copies go on much better sales that are more available.
