In some cases it already has...

Grand Theft Auto IV, which took in over
USD$500 million in sales during its opening week.

Spider-Man 3 and the original title holder for a video game
Halo 3."
In at least one respect though we've gone backwards...... When I first started buying PC games they would come in a beautiful 1 foot box and you would get a very detailed manual that was as thick as a brick, even if the game was relatively simple (For example Civilization 2)
Today you get a little plastic box with a one page pamphlet that explains the controls and that's it....
