Nobody was buying games on Xbox anyway so it's not a big loss. Retailers can trash them where they belong.
Not for Xbox. There is no market anywhere where they sell. It's junk for stores to maintain.

I gave up on the 360, it sucked compared to the PS3 and it was their best console ever.
Physical is still the majority in some countries, and you don't sacrifice one avenue of profit for another when you can have both. The people pushing for digital only are really short-sighted and dumb imo.Not sure if it will be the case.
The percentage of digital vs phisical sales keeps increasing. In this chart they keep the same for CY25 and 26, but makes more sense that in CY25-28 will continue decreasing to become almost zero or just a couple billions, mostly from Nintendo where the % of digital sales way bigger.
Physical game sales are being replaced by digital sales. And game sales are being replaced by addon (GaaS/F2P) sales.

The Xbox all digital console is coming soon, it's all coming together! No Hellblade physical, the rumors of all digital console for last few years and the physical retail dept being shuttered.
smh, and people have the nerve to say that's the "best community".
Yeap but that boat longer sailed.
The merge is done... no authority in the world will try to undone it because trying to cancel a merge after done is catastrophic to merged company.

One of the few mistakes I've made in life After playing Halo Mp and seeing how mediocre it was and Gears mp not being special I never played it again.
It now is a discarded paperweight. And I won't make tht mistake again.
Time to build up my PlayStation library more I think
Fucking shit i did not think of this. Phil is a fucking liar.
I would recommend you sell it, but that'll only push the problem to someone else.
holy shit this one of the most disgusting posts I've ever seen
Weird i thought i had that dude blocked, does he run multiple peterovo accts?
It's gotten pretty rough for them too of late because of the Palworld stuff. A lot of the usual Xbox suspects treating it as a defacto console exclusive and piggybacking off the Steam momentum, dismissing the blatant Pokemon ripoffs and pratically asset theft (yes, TRACING over a pre-existing model near 1:1 and making slight changes to avoid immediate copyright infringements is still illegal when done without the consent of the original owner. It at very least should be looked down upon like tracing in the art community is).
But people like Transistor, Judge, Jawmuncher etc. have leaned in on weaponizing Nintendo fans by proxy against pro-PlayStation news on the forum, so they don't want to piss the Nintendo people off TOO much. Hence they're more lenient with them.
Yep. Even has his own gaming website
You can see blocked idiots on the forum. I have Jez blocked and see his stupidity
Impossible, and if there would be some exception in some tiny country would be totally irrelevant.
In CY22 only $9B of the $55B generated by console games was in physical sales:
No, physical game sales revenue keep getting replaced by digital game sales+addons+subs revenue. Which means that in the long term physical sales will dissapear or become a tiny niche, pretty likely for collector editions only which may no longer include the disk.
