I do think the move to digital is both obvious and inevitable, though I don't think it will cause prices to drop.
For one, I don't see someone who plays CoD switching over to Battlefield just because it might be $10 cheaper. Basically, games are bought largely on the merits of the game itself, rather than how much it costs.
Secondly, I don't think it's any mystery that gaming publishers and developers work on fairly thin margins. Especially in this day and age where games are so cheap. So rather than the shift to digital dropping prices, I think it will simply further delay price increases, because it will allow publishers to hold onto more of the money from each game sale.
Bet with Adamblaziken:
I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
