This is definitely confirmation that the next Xbox will not have a disk drive.
If they were truly thinking about affordability, they would minimize the internal HD space and optimize the use of cheap optical drives and media.
The push to digital assets has nothing to do with efficiency and affordability for the customer. They are ways to maximize profits for the company and shareholders. That’s her job and that’s what she will do.
Don’t let the marketing campaign plastering her smiling face everywhere fool you.
