Everything you bought digitally for the 360 is available on the one without a disk. You could also buy the version with a blu ray drive if you need disks. You know options, microsoft is giving them to you.
That is part of my point. Its available - but who has a 360 library they want to revisit that doesn't already have an Xbone? How many few thousand people is that?
This locks new users into purchasing from the store when anyone with a optical drive has the option of used/older games.
No seriously, they have been building up their library of older games as a selling point for the last few years. I guess I viewed it also as a way to atone for the XBONE's original sin's of being always online/spyhardware when announced.
Who is this for anyway? Seriously, who? I can't tell who this is for on the consumer side, every single digital only console so far has been a wet fart on the market.
Is it for the person who can't afford 300$ but can afford the extra hundreds in cost for buying games ONLY from the MS store?
People who bought into the last hardware generation but haven't bought into this one?
The shareholders?
I guess if you've got an old XBox live login and never bought a ONE this generation you could justify this as a low cost entry to the Xbox store...but that makes no sense. Those are corpses and people who abandoned the platform, not consumers interested in buying into a mature platform.
How about contributing to society by both paying your employees decent wages AND participating in the social compact by paying taxes instead of say, using the most ruthless and unethical practices to increase the $-peen of your ruling class?

^This the last 2 years have been like watching toddlers learn how to use firearms. Everyone involved gets shot.
You keep doing it, ad infinitum.
