Very unlikely to happen IMO. Most world consumers don't have fast enough internet connections (if at all). The bulk of consumers prefer the content to be stored on solid media. Retail and movie shops are unlikely to close shop anytime soon. The quality of downloadable content is subpar, lengthy download times for 30-50 GB movies.
I mostly heard Microsoft / 360 fans claim the market will move the direction of downloadable content en masse within a couple of years. But a 20GB harddrive as most 360 owners have is not enough to even store one 2 hour movie in Blu-Ray quality. Upgrading those harddrives isn't even as easy and cheap as on the PS3. Many 360 owners haven't even set up a free XBox Live silver account. The picture and audio quality of the XBox 360 is pretty bad according to expert consumer electronics reviewers.
IMO don't eat M$ hype/FUD.
