Nah it's way too early. Look at music cds - they are still here despite mp3 revolutionizing the market.

Why do you need a dedicated games machine to play physical media.  

Because while there's no problem to incorporate functions of cd/dvd/br player , pvr device and netflix receiver into a gaming machine - same cannot be done with a classic Hi-fi set.

Cost of hardware needed for core gaming experience is too high to incorporate them into whole mass market.
