Digital distribution only. It's the future.

Do you really believe that? They must have physical media too even though the emphasis is on digital download.

It's too soon for a DD only console and the failure of the PSP Go should have made that clear to everyone, including the people in charge of Microsoft's gaming division.

I think the gen after the next gen we'll see the first DD only consoles.  It's worked great on PC with Steam.  4G is supposed to aim for 100Gbit/s (~12.5 MB/s).  At that speed, downloading a 10GB game takes under 15 minutes.  That's ON YOUR PHONE.  In 4-5 years this will be standard.  Unless ISPs can somehow convince people that it's still reasonable to charge twice the price for 1/10-1/100th the speed on CABLE vs. wireless, home speeds will be even faster.
