Take into consideration that gamers of today want more, bigger games, fixes
etc. XBox live is a typical example of this, to get more content for your
live game is just the beginning.
But the thing that will make it a slow progression is that not everyone will
be connected to the net, so there will still be that market for a very long
time. Music downloads is a typical example, on how things are progressing
towards the pay as you need system.

"... And that's where were headed, like it or not. No physical media. No
rentals. No used games. No sharing games among friends. Limited hardware
upgrades. Pay-to-play. Unless something seriously changes the course of
the industry, this is the future. "
Interesting article. Don't know if I agree with everything, but it's a
bit alarming that it's all quite possible.
