wow ... retailers dont like digital distribution huh... this must be why i cant find ipods anywhere that closed source itunes and apple hoarding all the revenues from it forcing 3rd parities to pay for the privilege to sell apple stuff... and the cards for downloading songs cant find those either.
retailers will adapt and modify the current system. also there will always be a demand no matter how small for physical media that will be met though im betting the future will be with jumpdrives/ cf/ or sd cards.
scottie, you do know retailers of apple goods make next to nothing off the hardware sales right? they have terrible margins for 3rd parties (not apple margins they make a killing normally around 25%) . the reason stores carry them is to get them in there to buy other goods, head phones external HDs warranty service.
the same will happen to consoles the hardware accessories will be where the money is. and thats really where it is now not in games, games dont make them much money nor do systems. but those controllers you buy, adn those batteries, the new cables... and the warranty and what ever else. retailers wont care.... (well gamestop might but i hate them so they can burn)
