The industry wants a download only future, they want to cut out the shops and sell direct via downloads (think Xbox market place, Wiiware, PSN Store, Steam etc). Bobby no mates at Activision is all ready stating his intentions to charge subscription fees for COD online, Codemasters and THQ have been muttering about selling half price, half games and selling you the rest online as DLC (Down Loadable Content).
Now I was wondering if all you technically inept, gamingly ignorant people who ask questions on here (no offence but you know it's true) and own Wii's and think about buying Kinect and stuff, would bother buying say Wii 2 if you had to download all the games from an online service?.
Because I personally get the feeling the industry will have to split in two one for the casuals selling in shops and one for the gamers selling online, which I don't think (hope) will happen so the casuals may be the ones to save traditional gaming.
