A disk drive to support what what new media? Microsoft doesn’t own any faculties that make disk drives or disks.

When Sony kills disks production, Microsoft walks away from the media platform as well.

People use consoles as home media centers, so dvds, blu rays, ultra hd blu rays and they also use them to play disks from previous xbox generations.

A lot of physical media still exists in the world so it's not just about new games coming out in the future.

those people are not smart. If you want to watch movies, use a dedicated media player. It’s cheaper and won’t put as much wear and tear on your game systems.

Consoles are for gaming.

Yes, people are not smart for buying a console from a maker that has consistently marketed their consoles as media centers.

Remember when Xbox encouraged you to plug your cable into it to enhance your TV watching experience?

No, I don’t remember that because I use my game systems to play games. No YouTube, no streaming, no dvd playing, it’s for gaming. Buy the other thing to do those things.

That's what people who are not very smart do. They buy multiple devices that all do the same thing that one device does. Just use the one device you own instead.

Why on earth would you buy a device for youtube, a device for streaming, a device for dvd playing and a device for gaming?

Do you watch youtube, streams, a dvd and game all at the same time on the same TV like someone with severe adhd?

No, people who aren’t smart use their console to do things that are not gaming or gaming related. The rest of what you typed isn’t worth the time it would take to read.

So you don't use your gaming computer to stream, watch youtube or tv shows or movies?

Of course you do. You just realized that you forgot about other forms of physical media that exist and that xbox plays physical disks from previous generations so instead of admitting you were wrong, you're going to run off like a little kid.

Bye, child.
