yes, i believe there will be an optical format for at least 2 more generations. pioneer already developed a 500gb blu-ray disc. the majority of people just will not have the bandwidth to accommodate such huge downloads. pure DD consoles will cater only to the wealthy.
and i believe in trends. trends say games get bigger and bigger as technology gets better. more realism, more pixels, more particle effects, better AI, etc. so yes, games will get bigger and bigger with time. they will expand faster than internet speeds will.
but i see what you mean with steam. i haven't thought of that.
