I agree that digital is the future, but I don't think next gen will fail if it's not digital only. Besides, you can still do both. The PS3 and XBOX360 can do both.

Not all games need a physical copy, leave it up to the publishers to figure out the numbers.

Personally, the problem with this game is the whole subscription model. Free to play is the future, as long as it's not pay to win, and if they can figure out how to do this right, it will be profitable.

The problem is it has to be FTP from the gitgo, otherwise it will look as a failure. I'm loving Diablo III and I already pre-ordered GWII. Not worrying about paying that fee will keep me coming back indefinitely.
