Eventually everything will go digital and become insanely expensive.

We will see one more console generation after the XB1/PS4. The PS5/XB2 will launch in 2020 and that generation will last around six years. After that games will be all digital, and will be extremely incomplete on release. They will be sold piece by piece in such a way that you have to pay $100 for the same amount of content that you get for $60 today. Or you will have to pay for a streaming service just to play said game, and it will cost you $20-$30 a month. Also your save files will be held at ransom in the same way that Adobe holds all your photoshop files at ransom on the cloud.

[Offtopic]PC games aren't cheaper than console games. Dark Souls 3 is $24 used on consoles, but the last steam sale only had it at $30. You can get brand new console games for $45 with a best buy club membership. The same games on steam costs $60 on release day.[/Offtopic]
