People will eventually realize that it doesn't matter, and that Sony long-term is aimed every bit as much towards the cycling out of physical media as Microsoft.

This is true, but ultimately you let the market move that way progressively and naturally. You don't force it's hand.

Now, if only they could get the Spy out of the living room...

Well, don't mistake what I was saying as any kind of support for Microsoft. It's more about being surprised that people in a general sense don't recognize where Sony is ultimately headed. Although I guess I shouldn't be. People as a group tend towards blindly following, especially when they have a chance to pick a perceived side and get that pack mentality going.

We all know this is eventually what they are heading to but it needs to be gradual. Set it up so the consumer can slowly see some value in it over the long haul. Don't just make a drastic change the public isn't even close to ready for.

for instance, the family sharing library is a cool idea so roll that out for only for certain digital download games. Let people see how it will work and get accustomed to it. For that to work though they need to allow 2 users at a time though. The owner of the game should be able to play it when ever they want. Your 10"family" members can duke it out for the ONE other login available for it,.
