    According to DoesItPlay.org, only 13% of PS4 games required a download to play. When you look at PS5, it’s only 17% requiring download.

    Microsoft actually implemented the opposite of your described sharing method recently. When you first put in physical media, you are allowed a digital download of that until that disc is put into another Xbox, where the license is immediately transferred.

      That’s incredible good news, thanks for sharing!

      I just hope Xbox is not trying a “Nintendo”, by basically trying to attract public by doing the opposite of what their competition is doing, I honestly hope they get their shit together and they really are trying this, not as marketing campaign.

        Microsoft is just doing that, because their xbox brand is faltering. PS5 outsells the xbox more than 3:1

        2013, when they had the upper hand comming off the xbox 360 into the next generation of consoles, they were the ones trying to pull anti-consumer moves.
