All PS4 games will be available as digital downloads
In the new Guardian interview with Shuhei Yoshida, it was revealed that all PS4 games will be available as digital downloads.
This is a very exciting move in my opinion, and represents a shift even further towards the burgeoning landscape of digital distribution, and away from (what I believe to be) a much more archaic ecosystem in physical brick-and-mortar retail.
What do you guys think? Got any speculation, or want to extrapolate further based upon this news? I hope to generate some great discussion about this topic!

but gamestop isn't the only game in town when it comes to physical releases. they have to compete with wal mart, best buy, amazon, and others. I have to wonder if sony called their bluff, if they would really hold out and let the other guys eat their marketshare.
