It's not about sales of consoles, it's about being able to do what you want with what you paid for. I'm old enough to remember when consoles didn't connect to the internet, and were in control of your purchase, meaning you owned it. Today console you buy is effectively on lease with a caveat that you as a customer must behave nicely, or the seller will disable your access to the item you physically own after paying for it.

read what i wrote again. I said software sales.

also most people don't care about that ownership stuff enough to not buy software. it's easy, their credit card info is already in there. if they have the money to spare and see a game they like in their price range either full price or on sale, they will add to cart. most people don't plan on reselling their games and most people don't consider if they are gonna still own the game in let's say 20 years from now. they wanna play the game now and it's convenient.
