Precisely, this is a man speaking in a very biased way as he seeks to justify his exit from the traditional boxed game market
Even with Steam on PC, there are still physical games, but they do rely on an activation code, giving you the best of both worlds. They do, however, avoid the massive downloads that are still problematic. They probably won't be an issue in 2-3 years in most places, but they are for 90% of people now and will still be an issue for a good percentage of people throughout this whole generation

Even more if they really go FullHD and start using massive textures to fill even bigger worlds.

Precisely. There are already some huge games, like the Total Wars that are over 35GB!
GTA IV is 15GB, so just imagine how large V is going to be with 4x the area. I don't want to be downloading games much larger than that!
I have downloaded them to my PC, but when I have the option, I get the physical copy AND I have the best internet money can buy in the UK as far as I know (Virgin Media 120Mb/s)

GTA IV + plus the EXP packs took me 9 hours to dl. I wish steam allowed you to install from discs. I have physical and digital version of GTA IV. That's just 32GB. Imagine every game is 50GB for now on.
