Well, get me my cane, suspenders and old-man pants because the moment that happens is the moment I start calling you all whippersnappers and talking about the good ol' days. ;)

This isn't the first time the industry tried to push technology to limited success. Ultimately, the market decides if these things will become standard. There are people like me who dislike the idea of not owning your games (I avoid digital when possible for that reason), and that's a portion of the market who wouldn't go for a cloud/digital-only system if there's an alternative. How much of an impact that would have, if any, remains to be seen. PSP-GO was a long time ago, so it's not really a good frame of reference anymore. But, considering the backlash to Xbone's no used-games policy (which would effectively happen with a digital-only system), it would be a hard fight to win.

Yeah, probably we all will be gone or busy with all our grand children or another problem. But for sure the era will changes we might have something better for the exchanges like flying car or a trip to the moon :P 

It depends on ease of use, reliability, price and if the majority of buyers like the concept. Don't forget that Beta was superior to VHS in quality and not even that more expensive. But the market made its choice.
