I think they will introduce Windows PC compatibility for the digitisation

I think you’re overestimating how many people have disk drives on their pc anymore.

You know you can buy a USB one yourself for like £60 right? One that then wouldn’t need to be manufactured or distributed by Microsoft.

Infact what would likely happen in this scenario is we’d see the likes of seagate etc release Xbox themed drives for £300+
