    They wont be losing money that is for sure.

    Because they buy in bulk Microsoft will would give someone like CD Keys some form of discount, a discount the CD Keys is then actually giving a % back to their customers.

    Trust me everyone involved will be making money.

    Do they need brick and mortar stores to sell consoles though? People are buying more and more of their games online, why wouldn't they just buy their consoles online as well.

    People buy physical games online, why wouldn't they buy a physical console online?

    If people are so willing to embrace a digital future, why are they so keen to allow brick and mortar stores to control pricing of games and consoles?

    pc is cheaper because of the decline in pc gaming, the store has the same prices as the ps4, simple, dont like it then by physical and continue gaming.

    I would love to switch to Digital completely but the price does put me off.

    It is not down to Microsoft however as the prices are set by the publishers if I remember correctly??

    Also if anyone is buying Digital then use a site like CD Keys for XBL Credit, you will make some sort of saving even it is only a few £££'s.

    Xbox Store, well over priced?

    Microsoft are starting to sell their console from the MS store, but for this generation that is just a fraction of the total consoles sold.

    And when we all say "brick and mortar" stores, we basically mean anything other than Microsoft. I mean can you imagine Microsoft undercutting Amazon on digital games? Amazon would tell Microsoft where to go. Same with Sony and Nintendo, they all need retailers
    to sell their goods.
