    So MS has predictably decided to abandon disc-compatible consoles to push GP sales (and bank on the MS Store).

    I only bought the Xbox One S because of the backwards compatibility program. Going disc-less would kill the vast majority of my existing Xbox 360 library, including titles that are backwards compatible but cannot be purchased on the store anymore (such as Prince of Persia 2008, Ace Combat 6, and many more).

    No thanks.

      Digital is the future, pal. When’s the last time you saw a gaming pc with a disk drive?

      And it’s not like they’re taking the physical options away.

        I feel like the situation is a bit different for PC no? There’s a history of backwards compatibility since forever. Yes PC game stores like Steam are all digital, but there was never a chance that the store would just close down when a generation was over, unlike in the console space.
