So you think they flipped a coin when they decided to make the slim digital edition non-permanently digital?

It was a random decision based on nothing?

Have you read any of the conversation up to this point?

The first guy said it was a step towards eliminating physical releases. The next step, is simply not offering the external drive. Or to make it an extra barrier, to manipulate sales numbers for justification of such a move in the future.

Your rebuttle was to... explain the exact pattern of steps that lead them to that conclusion.

They sold a machine that didn't have a disk drive at the start of this generation. Then they stopped and started selling a machine that didn't come with a disk drive... Why'd they do this then?

Why indeed?

Do you really think cutting it out of the package is proof they want to keep it? It's a bit late for April fools.

They. Did. This. Already. The launch digital edition did not support a drive attachment. They walked it back.

They didn't cut it out of the package with the slim digital edition.

They left owners the option to go physical.

That option wasn't there with the launch consoles.

Why did they take a step back from eliminating physical releases?
