Large game collections are of much more value than a console, and consoles are more complex and have a much higher failure rate. Particularly if it is a console vs a simple media like a Wii game optical disc that is well taken care of.
Maybe I had 100 $40 games on my $100 console. Console breaks, I lose all games.
With physical media: One game breaks, I lose one game. One console breaks, I lose one console. Way less risk.
Also I can't sell or transfer the digital copies to friends or family.
Lock-in digitals are not at all equivalent rights of physical copies.
