-Digital distribution on consoles: This is a weird theory of mine, but hear me out. If retail fails and digital becomes the prominent way of selling games, in a couple of decades we might see devices with no DVD-reader (or any kind of disk reader). After that happens, prices might start going up again because the console manufacturers have the monopoly on their distribution. That might anger gamers, because they can't use phisical copies anymore. In this case, consoles themselves might be in danger, but this situation is highly hypothetical, and it could only happen if the retail situation above happens.
Yeah, this is never gonna happen.
