A digital only console is perfectly viable if the entire country has great internet, but it doesn't it and probably won't for a while still.

Well this is both true & not true. Like 99.2% if the number is right, of Americans have access to at least one high speed provider. But the problem is that *at least having access* doesn't mean it's reliable or at all affordable. Source said that less than 2 million have no access which is the lowest it's ever been here & good, but there's no competition, & we don't know how many of these rural areas can afford or get that one high speed provider. Digital only consoles mean you're always going to be having to download the information for titles online, & you can't just pop in a disc & play.

There are a lot of current gen titles that you can just pop the game in & play, skipping downloading patches & such. I absolutely detest the standard being digital because you'll always have to be online to finish installation, & a lot of games only have the minimum on discs requiring online to finish. That's a shitty trend I don't want to see
