Billy Pidgeon, an analyst at M2 Research said, "I don't expect vendors to leave physical media formats out of next-generation consoles. Cloud gaming services can't yet allow access on a scale to realize their inherent disruptive potential. I agree with Microsoft's assertion that cloud-based game delivery as a replacement for physical media is in the long term future."
DFC Intelligence analyst David Cole said, "The Xbox 720 should definitely have some sort of access for physical media. The cloud stuff can open up new doors and Microsoft's strategy is all about delivering services via the box, basically it has been somewhat of a cloud strategy from the beginning. But games are entertainment and this means you need the physical presence. We can just look at the mob at retail last week as a sign of its importance. When Microsoft talks about the cloud technology in Xbox 720 I think it is often more the business/technology side versus the entertainment/marketing side."
Colin Sebastian of RW Baird added, "Any smart console manufacturer will want to offer a mix of distribution points for consumers - both in the cloud and at retail stores. There is such a broad spectrum of games that consumers are playing, and there is not a one-size fit all solution."
EEDAR's Jesse Divnich said, "The digital transition will be just that, a transition, and neither Microsoft nor Sony will force consumers to go 100% digital. The digital transition will ultimately be at the choice of the consumer and Microsoft and Sony will continue to support physical media until the mass market has reached the tipping point of acceptance on digital I'd expect the Xbox 720, or whatever they choose to call it, will act as a true hybrid console, supporting both physical and digital media with the long-term hopes that they can provide enough incentive and value to accelerate that transition."

haaa good man! -
Yes, will be 1st with it

I'll be waiting on a price drop and then they still will be making titles for the 360 still while trying to put out new games for the 720. Also, I don't buy new systems when they come out b/c of the system bugs/glitches I rather wait when most of the systems put out are properly fixed.

ok you completely missed what i said there -
PS4>
Sony ain't gonna ? up this time, I know they're keeping ? under TIGHT wraps right now. They ? up releasing way after the 360, they won't do that again. Bet your ass it's gonna be released around the time the 720 makes it's release. I hear they're already doing PS4 games?
PS4 will blow the 720 outta the water. After the PS4 all will hail Sony the ? of gaming, they will revolutionize like they always do. Mark my words, PS4 will be Kratos, the rest of the consoles will be the measly little gods he slaughters. -
not the first gen/batch. I'ma let it work it's kinks out before investing in another console.
-
I'll get it if it's no more than $350. I'll trade it in towards the 2nd batch if need be.
