1. digitals will not be the standard until the whole world is covered in a fast wifi, right now you can't even stream the same quality as blu ray in the best network of the world, never mind the places where there isn't even a network and nevermind affordable 

2. I'm not talking about movies, I'm talking about games, dvd has been holding games back, it is one of the reasons ps3 exclusives look better and have alot more content and contributes to them being (tehcnically/potentially) better games and digial download on home consoles is not going to be the standard this gen you'd need atleast a 1TB drive for that to be possible and 1TB would be a small one 

Ever heard of hard drives, hard drives are killing dvds/blu-ray paint whatever picture you want. You dont have to stream, you dont stream blu-rays from the store, you download then play. Pretty easy.

Not saying it will  be standard this gen, far from it, it wont be standard next gen eitehr, though what will happen imo is digital distribution will have a much larger showing, you can already download full games from the web off xbla or psn, not sure about wii ware, but i dont think, not wii games anyway. 

And gaming has one 100 percent to do with format of movies if we are indeed talking about formats, dvds will decide whether blu-rays will stick to ps3 next gen, or if they do a more universal concept or whatever. If DVD wins, it affects both consoles. 

Harddrives are not killing blu rays, harddrives are bigger yes but blu rays are infantly cheaper then a comparable size/physical size harddrive and the speed issue is still there with downloading, most of the consumer base doesn't have the connection to download that high quality within a resonable amount of time and in 10 years most of them still won't especially in other areas in the world one or two games is one thing but if you put every full game on your harddrive it would fill up incredibly fast not to mention the whole having to download that much, unlimited internet still has caps for downloading and you'd reach them 

Movies have nothing to do with medium for gaming, several times companies have used unique mediums for games, (gamecube, snes, genesis, psp ect) so even if dvd won movies for the next million years blu ray would still be better for games because it gives the developers more room to work and make a better game
