Community Reviews
Grand Theft Auto VI on PS5 and Xbox Series X or S is shaping up as a huge digital release, with the box containing a download code instead of a disc. The comments point to a massive install size and day one patches as the reason, and the move is seen as a way to limit resale and keep pricing control over time. That also means there is no physical copy to keep or trade in, which makes the preorder feel less appealing for anyone who wants ownership in hand. A digital only launch with strong launch demand, but not much collector value.
Players with huge storage space, because the game is a download code and may need around 200GB plus day-one patches.
Xbox players who prefer disc-to-digital licensing, because the disc can simply unlock the digital version instead of being resold.
Collectors comfortable with digital ownership, because the release is code-only and avoids disc handling entirely.
Physical-game collectors who want resale value, because this release has no disc and cannot be traded or sold later.
Players who want to feel they truly own a boxed copy, because this version is only a download code in a box.
Gamers avoiding large downloads, because the install may be around 200GB plus day-one patches.

Makes sense since the game is gonna be like 200gb plus day one patches
The main argument against that though is you're no longer able to resell them :/
I think XBOX has the best approach where the disc gives you access to the digital version.

With that, yes, loving what xbox is doing, if they weren't shooting themselves in the foot 50 other ways they would be making a comeback.

This is more for them to prevent reselling the disc, and maintaining higher margins throughout the game's lifetime. GTA5 can be found really cheap nowadays since it's an old 13-year game, but 13 years after GTA6, you will not find GTA6 so cheaply since there is no physical version available to drive the digital price down. They eliminate the secondary market which brings them no profits, and hold control over the pricing since it's a digital only game with no other competitors.
That's what makes sense.

I'm not sure if you saw the Nex Playground but it's basically a budget Kinect but it came with a bunch of games and my kids were having a blast with it. If a game like that came with the bundled Kinect and they demoed that in stores it would have done so much better.
With all that, yes, a lot of people were still loyal to Xbox but were looking over the fence at PlayStation and after that announcement where they oozed greed and said you need to give them more money if you wanna let your friend borrow your game and you can't play without internet that destroyed that loyalty and the PS4 sold far better and it was over at that point.
