When the infrastructure in the US catches up with the rest of the developed world (in terms of internet speeds and caps, or lack thereof), then there will be DL only consoles. |

It's the biggest barrier right now. And consider that the gen gen games will be even larger then they are now, it will take even longer to download with current internet speeds. I don't think the change will happen when a new generation comes out. I think the change will slowly happen during the life of a given generation, and by the time that generation's life is over, digital will be the norm, and the next gen will go digital only. |

No matter when you go in the store, there are no consoles on the shelves, no extra controllers, and about half of the game shelves are emply. Pretty much just a bunch of crappy third party accessories that no one wants to buy, and a small assortment of games. Outside of using a $30 gift card about a year ago, I haven't bought anything video game related from Best Buy in about 10 years. |
