Xbox and Playstation come with optical drives.
Switch does not.

Thats 2 out of 3. Not sure about "a lot".

Like what game systems?

If you're referring to the Switch, while it's not optical, it still has a drive that takes physical media.

Store bought PC systems. Lenovo, Dell (Alienware), Asus...they're all making bank on gaming PCs and laptops.

Eh we were discussing GameStop so I thought it was obvious that we're talking about console gaming here, not PC gaming. PC gaming has been mainly digital gaming for years now.

PSP Go had no drive at all.

There's a proposed XBOX One X to use with the online game subscription that has no drive.

So 1 out of like 10 in the past decade is a lot? And how did that turn out for the PSP Go? That thing flopped harder than Virtual Boy.

I still regret not getting a PSP Go when they were $50 new at Sam's Club. I didn't have broadband or wifi at the time and the reviews were poor. Now I wish I had it as a portable emulation machine. I'm left with trying to mod my 3ds to do something similar now but the screen size isn't nearly as good.

Umm, the handhelds NEVER had optical drives so I honestly dont know how they got into the argument.

PSP had an optical drive. PSP Go did not.

PSP Go cannot play PSP game discs. It can only play downloaded titles.

This looks familiar.

I helped my former roommate move last year. It was very early in January 2017, just after a record cold day. We pulled the U-Haul truck up to the new place and walked up to the front door. He had the electricity service activated a day or so before we arrived, so the frozen pipes in the top floor thawed and started pouring water for at least a day while the house was unoccupied. The ceiling had fallen, just like that picture. The living room was a swamp. The back of the house was encased in ice.

As I drove through the neighborhood, I noticed that practically every house had a plumber truck in the driveway. Some homes that didn't have a plumber on-site still had obvious signs of burst pipes (a sheet of ice on the sidewalk from burst sprinkler lines).

Ours as well minus the pizza party, they'd rather employees bring in food than pay for it themselves.....

High-speed Internet has only been widely available for the last few years. PS4, XBox, and the #1 gaming system- PHONES, are all preferring streaming content now. I work in an IT firm partnered with Microsoft and the inside rumor is MS is building a cloud gaming system- essentially a dumb client that remotes into a high-end server and the game plays remotely while streaming video back to you. Steam already made something similar (but it wasn't ready for primetime).

Physical media is dead. It's just not needed anymore.

Thats everywhere (at least 75%) management style practically. Companies will get away with anything so long as it isn't deemed illegal or forced overtime paid.

You're just factually wrong or else there wouldn't be billions of dollars in sales yearly.
