In a digital-only future, how will the gaming retailers react?

Adapt or die, unfortunately. Thankfully, there will always be a market for physical collectors, and there are still retailers that will continue to be around, selling new/used physical media of all types. Whether movies, games, music, etc. I personally shop at Movie Trading Company/Vintage Stock. They range from small stores to almost warehouse sized locations, and they're always full of people.

There's little to no chance of Sony backtracking on an announcement of this size. So, it's just a matter of accepting it and moving on. Or switching to Nintendo platforms if you're that diehard for new physical games lol.
