When consoles go digital only, it will be the end of consoles.

You can't sell the hardware without a physical presence of games, otherwise you fall into the PS Vita trap of "it doesn't have any games!"

I like having a physical product when I'm spending $40-$70 on a game. When it's less than that, I'm generally okay with it.

But if consoles go digital, I'll still buy it. But I'm going to be a lot more patient with my purchases.
