You're right! My point no longer stands. Removing the disk drive would then save about $100 from the console, which makes sense to remove if you're cutting costs and most players play digital anyways.
~also if you're pushing digital games.
Props for accepting a counterargument on the internet graciously. Not something we see often.
Digital doesn't have a secondary market which is the real reason. No money is made when you give away, sell, or share your physical games.
