Consoles and physical games will be around for a long time to come. All of this bullshit about streaming and/or downloading full retail games without a physical console isn't going to happen for a very long time, if ever. Network infrastructure isn't anywhere close to where it needs to be to stream and download full retail games, and ISP's also need to get rid of data usage caps to. I strongly prefer physical games and consoles, as do most gamers I know. Tablet, smartphone, and social games will never replace the console gaming experience.
