Considering the rumors say it will use the same architecture, there's no reason it wouldn't be.
With the limit on cartridge space and optical space no longer an issue. I would hope Sony follows the cartridge route, and Microsoft.
Or they start building these devices with the ability to handle TB's of storage if they go digital only, which at that point, they have become the steamstore.
This isn't a bad thing but technology has caught up with the gaming companies.
They would sooner go all-digital than eat the manufacturing costs of cartridges. The reason they're trying to wean us off of physical media is because digital is more profitable, they're not gonna give up even more of their margins.
