While digital distribution will no doubt grow in the coming year for the video game industry it still has more limitation than music and books. Music and books aren't very large in data when compared to games. I only have about 10 gigs in music yet that is probably almost 100 albums. 1 video game (especially the main titles) can reach past 25 gigs now and usually average at least 5-7 gigs. With tons of countries that have data caps on internet I don't see digital distribution of video games taking off. Sure there will be the WiiWare, XBL, PSN titles that are smaller in space but for a regular title I see many issues with just going all digital. Nintendo won't go digital anytime soon for their main titles. Perhaps Sony and Microsoft will offer older titles (titles released early on the console) for purchase in the future. I just don't see it coming to fruition anytime soon for the major titles.
