Pretty sure people said physical music would be dead years ago. They still sell CDs though...

yea, in the future games might come on USB sticks or sth for the physical collectors, as I doubt PS6 gen will have an optical drive

I think this is very possible in the future.  Optical drives are big, and have a lot of moving parts that are prone to problems.  But, right now, disks are a lot cheaper to produce than flash memory (and the like).  That will change at some point.
