"I think it's going to happen sooner than most people think," said Doug Creutz, video game analyst for Cowen & Co. "Console makers dig it. Publishers have some fear about what happens when they break away from retail model, but at end of the day, they can cut out the retailer and cut down on used-game sales and piracy. There's lots of reasons for them to like it."

He added: "For retailers, it's a disaster."
