I believe that all games can be available digital and that we will see an decrease of available games at the retail stores that again will give a boost for downloading games. Nothing is so nice as trying to find a game for months and then find out that you can download it on XBLA/PSN and have it in an hour :).

The reason you will NEVER have a fully Dig Dist video gaming console is because retail demands their software cut.
Retail cannot be cut out of the loop, because retail controls and manages the distribution of consoles. Ergo, no retail = no consoles.
The day when retail can be cut out of the console distribution role and can't demand software.....that will be the day we as gamers won't need consoles anymore for gaming.
