EA: digital sales will eventually overtake boxed games
"There will come a point, whether it is two or three years from now, when we say 'we are doing more in digital media now than we are in physical media,' and it's clearly ... not far away," Moore said.
Reuters points out that EA's expected packaged goods revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2013 is $2.6 billion, with digital products expected to bring in $1.7 billion, while its digital revenue increased by 55 percent in the first quarter of that year.
Moore insisted that boxed media will stick around for a while, saying "we will never abandon physical media. As long as the consumer wants to buy something on a disc, we will be there to offer it."

The thing is, consoles will have to come with larger, sh*t, WAY larger HDDs. I know as technology advances, the sizes increase, but there's like no HDD for a Xbox that can support a whole game+saves+DLC along with whatever else you generally need on your HDD to play any game. The PS3 has some pretty big HDD sizes so it may last longer than the Xbox will with digital games, but not THAT much longer.
