Well, they're releasing major titles as downloadables on Live right now, aren't they? Not saying this is exactly the best strategy, but what would be any different?

Then you have to realise that not everywhere has internet, and a lot of countries - Australia being massively impacted this way - have caps on their internet usage. Next gen console = next gen games = massive downloads = Australia saying "LOLNO" and being forced to pay extra for the bigger machine.
Thats a massive market not buying the smaller model...
I wasn't advocating it. You guys were just talking like releasing fully digital versions of disc-based games would be something they'd start doing next gen, but it's something they're already doing now, so it's not exactly uncharted territory.
