Pretty much. The economics of depending on physical retail just don't make sense anymore.
But they're still going to be important for several years yet, I think. Whether in the key markets or globally, internet speeds aren't at a level to where most people can treat a 6-7 GB download like it's no big deal. Not to mention that people will be resistant on principle, or at least until they see how pricing shakes out over time (at least in my case). And it's not like Gamestop is the only big retailer or business who'd be upset by this.
