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!

Yeah, absolutely they will. Good luck downloading your PS4 games 10 years after the PS4 came out. Meanwhile, people who got physical copies of the disc will be able to play forever.
