Nah...future is streaming services - it gives ultimate control over content and paymodels to service provider and once infrastructure is good enough, everyone will jump the ship. So in the end, it won't matter if you're on the move or at home, your games are streamed and your paying monthly/yearly subscription.

I think you are right. The future is streaming as MSFT and Sony already seen a few years ago, but because of the consumer situation (not everyone has great internet connection, WIFI isn't perfect yet to be used for Streaming) and a lot of end customers are not yet willing to accept to get rid of fysical content I think we need to wait for a few years!

Yeah, both MS and Sony are preparing for it, though I'm not so sure it's anywhere in the near future - latencies are still too high for that model. So my guess would be at least one more gen, maybe even 2, and then everything is streamed.
