complete digital distribution is never going to work.
you have the 360 with 28 million user base, but only around 15 million LIVE accounts (or more, i'm not sure but it's nowhere near the user base). the same goes with PSN, and their number is far more bloated because their service is free.
in short, there are millions of people who:
1.) aren't hooked up to the net yet.
2.) don't have a fast enough internet to download big stuff.
3.) are far too used to physical media and like to collect the box.
if a company decides to make their console as only digital distribution enabled, they will not be selling to these millions. it will be a major loss to them.
