And thats why I'll probably buy the next incarnation of the Switch instead.

Originally posted by Marius View PostThis is my concern too - there have already been many multi-player only, online only games this generation and that trend is probably only going to continue. Plus, as physical media goes the way of the dodo, my interest is going to dwindle. I won't go as far as to say I won't buy any consoles in future if they are all-digital, but I'll only buy a handful of games that I know I'll like. I certainly won't take a punt on any unknowns.Kept you waiting, huh?

I can easily imagine a shift away from GAAS in the coming years. Gamers have shown themselves to be very critical of how individual games handle the concept and there are some big successes but just as with every fad devs and publishers rush for, there's only so much market space for them and we're going to see some big name flops in the coming years as gamers are stretched too thin to support so many GAAS titles for years.
It still remains the same issue that devs and publishers need to find a way of making AA titles return in a reasonable way.

I started dabbling with digital about half way through the PS3's life. It made sense for me as I no longer had to worry about shipping costs and Customs taxes, and the actual shipping delay. I was playing games on the very day they were released. I've never bought a disc for Wii U, Xbox One or PS4 to this day. I think the last disc I bought was Biohazard: Operation Racoon City back in 2011.
You soon get used to not having shelves full of plastic cases, but folders full of games instead. It's definitely a lot easier to just press the PS button, select your game and play without having to get up messing about with discs too. You also tend to actually play the games you've paid for instead of sampling them for five minutes and adding them to that nerd shelf.
I'd be fully up for a PlayStation that didn't include a disc drive personally. Some kind of Wii-sized black box with flashy lights and more than two USB ports would suit me perfectly fine. Games are games at the end of the day, as long as you can play them, what is the problem in how they are delivered to your retinas?Kept you waiting, huh?

I can't get the issues over digital. It's so much easier and convenient than having to look for a disk, each time you want to play something different. I've loved being able to do that since I softmod my OG XBox and installed most of my games on it; I also do it more and more for music and movies too and rip most of my DVDs and CDs to the Hard Drive.
I think both the PS 5 and XBox II will still have a bluRay drive in it. Don't think the network is quite there, just yet.
