This is where Nintendo is ahead of the game with Club Nintendo and the registration processes. If you register a game from Nintendo, it is tied to your account permanently. So if they ever did want to go digital only like the PSPGo, there would be a way to prove that you own a game and only you can download it.
Now I know there are ways around it. I have registered games I don't own (traded for codes) and I know some people who work at stores could get codes from "new" games they opened. But in theory it would work.
