Yes, but that changes the game how? This has always been the case. Consoles and PCs are still gonna be both valid choices as they are now.

Until of course people figure out that you can hook up a PC to a TV.

Better performance.  I said that in the OP too.

*edit*

Advantages between PC and consoles when everything goes all digital.

PC.  Better performance, current gen is backwards compatible with all prior gens, more digital markets to purchase your games from so more frequent sales, you can change graphical options to get better performance or better graphics, and no fee for online gaming.  Wii U and the portables have no fee for online gaming right now for consoles and portables, but for future gens, free online is gone unless you go with Nintendo.

Console.  No need to wonder whether your console will play the game or not.  With PC though, as long as you have 8GB of RAM and a graphics card more powerful than the most current console, you won't have to worry about that either.

You're running in circles. Nothing you just said is new and has always been this way. So why would all digital change anything in that matter?

I assume your assumption is that people only buy consoles because they still have physical copies but that's wrong. People will still buy consoles with all digital content because the pros against a PC remain.
