New Xbox

Tens of millions, I'd wager. In the US, probably fewer. Something like 30% of households don't have broadband, even here.

The real problem though is that you lose access to your own games without checking in, despite having already paid for them. Or, years down the road when MS stops supporting the system, it all gets bricked.

Yes, yes, I know, everything is changing and we should all just be happy about it. If its new it must be good. But it isn't. This is anti-consumer.

But yes, I think tens of millions is fair. Its a global market.

I don't get why people think a certain way of doing business is some inevitable thing.

The XBox is going to get crushed because of this shit. I don't know a single gamer who isn't just a big fan of Microsoft who wants to buy one.

The market will determine what will sell and gamers are losing their shit over such issues. Knowing that what is inevitable about the EA model?

what part do the vast majority of gamers disagree with? And yes, digital content over physical media is inevitable (assuming no nuclear wars or anything like that).
