I think the important word in the thread title is "some". Publishers probably are putting some pressure on the console manufacturers to implement something like EA's online pass. They won't get rid of used games sales altogether.
Personally I see them pushing for something more like Steam on PC where you can register your physical game on PSN/Live and effectively subscribe to that game on your account making the disc redundant. Anyone trying to play that disc will get limited content (e.g. no acheivements, no multiplayer etc.) unles they unlock it by buying a serial code and "subscribing" to the game. However, I think it'll be completely optional to register your physical game.
Not sure they'll have the infrastructure to implement that next gen either actually.
