&gt; I really hope digital downloads will take over.<p>There are lots of people on capped satellite&#x2F;3G&#x2F;&quot;water tower&quot; internet who enjoy gaming that are going to be cut out of the market if consoles go to a pure digital distribution system. Additionally, gamers in very remote locations (submarines, remote foreign villages, etc) couldn&#x27;t have the latest releases mailed to them. Somehow they&#x27;d have to find a broadband connection. It doesn&#x27;t make much sense to eliminate a class of paying customers by switching to 100% digital distribution.
