Whatever the future hold for gaming, I have one important suggestion to give to the gaming industry.
While optical discs store a large amount of data, and are suitable for gaming, they fall short of one thing - durability.
Optical discs (CDs, DVDs) can be ruined through a single scratch, wasting someone's hard earned money. My suggestion is to use some kind of protection for optical discs. Here is how it can be done -
Specially designed transparent and light plastic cases might be designed to envelope the disc, so it can be made safe of scratches. Any damages would hurt the plastic cover, and when it becomes unfit, it can be detached and a new one can be put into use. It is a simple idea, but somebody who really matters should ponder about it.

here is an idea:
make games on memory cards or whatever.
them usb pendrives dont take much to build and they dont scratch
you can get 5 gigabytes on some of them.
they take up less space less power needeed. consoles could be be built smaller and best of all cheap!
so why note ditch the cd and dvd and get the pen drives

Every game in the future will be stored in special Jams which you spread on your console (made from bread).

£1 would be "expensive" in some ways. You can consider buying them 3 for £2 or 10 for £3 or something like that. I think 2 or 3 should come along with the original game.
