So in 10 years, we will be where we are today with Sony's media. In 10 years, a disk will probably hold a terabyte or two. Physical media will always be ahead of downloads when it comes to space. The only thing I can see where media becomes obsolete, is when we get to a point where you never have the game. You buy the X-box 5, or the PS 6, and you instantly have every game ever made for it, for a monthly fee. the games themselves will sit on a server somewhere, and your console is just a window into that server. Kind of like remote play. The only thing that gets downloaded to your console, is the audio and visuals of the game you are playing, while you play it. When that day comes (and it will someday), then media is dead. While there is still the need to deliver large amounts of code to consumer, physical media will live on. |
50GB BR-DL vs. 1 TB Harddrive to hold as much media as you can imagine?
OT: I'm not too keen on digital downloads, as I like collecting/borrowing/trading games. Not to mention, I love to see boxart :p
