I have a lot of doubt that physical media will exist in the next gen of consoles (except Nintendo's) and I would actually be rather disappointed if they wasted the money and effort to put a player in the next gen. UHD is far too niche at this point to bother with for a mainstream console, not to mention the horsepower to drive such a display for games in a console is a long way off (at least at affordable power efficient levels).

That's exactly why I want 10 bit colour, 4:4:4 and HDR. You can still enjoy these features if they are being rendered at 1080p. Besides a game can be not physical and still suports these features. On the other hand next gen games will probably still use discs considering they are nott going to put a 5TB hard disc in it. And when your internet isn't very fast 50GB is a long install time to hook up a game you previously deleted due to storage space. The pricing on PSN alone is enough reason I don't want optic discs to go. In about a year or three most tv's will be 4k tv's already, even the samsung 6000 series is already mostly 4k. But supporting 4k resolution is to heavy for consoles, but to suppport HDR, 10 bit colour and 4:4:4 should be quite doable a GTX970 supports 4:4:4 already and in 2020 that card is probably outdated. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar
