So what will happen to VGchartz??

Haha, good question!

Sux with all this digital download and cloud gaming. I want gaming to be kept on traditional consoles and physical copies and nothing else.

Wont happen, PC has already demonstrated that digital gaming is very possible and can be a strong market. Even industries that for years held onto physical media, music and movies, are transitioning to digital media. Movies will take longest of all industries to go all digital because of ever growing file sizes and eventually UHD and SUHD resolutions (1440p to 4k p).

Okay but how can we fight this? Can we prolong the era of physical media somehow?

shut down the internet? i think physical media will end up falling into an expensive niche market. It wont 100% die, it just wont be as prominent as it has been.

edit: its like vinyl records. Its niche now, but its market still exists and does spike up every once in a while. It is still a superior piece of audio tech for a major reason. If Blu-ray audio took the market like it should be or the high end audio codecs take over the worthless mp3 codecs you might be able to keep physical music around for a while. But people prefer music files to be under 10mbs so we wont ever see good digital audio as "omg that song is 70MBs, thats to big of a file for my 10mbps internet to handle" mentality people have.
