Instead of Blockbuster it will be Gamestop and GAME. Game sales are going to do one of two things: Go digital downloads, or go CLOUD style. I am betting on CLOUD based subscription based services that will work a lot like Netflix. The real failure of stores like Blockbuster was their lack of foresight to be able to see the writting on the wall and roll with the changes. No reason that instead of Netflix streaming on my xb360, it could have been Blockbuster. But their loss. If the major game stores don't position themself to do the CLOUD or DD and soon, then they will suffer the same fate as Blockbuster. This story is a preview of the video game industry in ten years.

It is inevitable surprised Blockbuster and Hollywood Video are still surviving.
