There's absolutely no reason why Microsoft couldn't have turned around and went, "well, you can use discs traditionally or you can download the games and share them, not worry about discs, etc"
I don't see what is so hard about this. Microsoft is acting like we just killed their puppy and making us choose between discs and download.
I just don't get why you have to choose. As I said before, there are games on 3DS that you can download AND buy the cart for, each side has its advantages and disadvantages but it's up to the customer to choose.
Microsoft still doesn't get it, they don't want to let the customers choose. They want to tell us we can either have discs or we can have no online anything.
My guess is that this is all a ruse, Microsoft will "suddenly have an epiphany" and decide that "they can do both through some really high tech stuff!" and give everyone the best of both worlds. Sales would go insane after that and it'd be pitching an ancient idea as brand new (you could buy physical copies of games and activate them on Steam since forever), but MS could get a lot of the "OMG call of duty ghosts is so goood it has a dog!!!" to say "omg MS just invented to kewlest thing brahhhhh"
