They will still sell the games. They just won't sell discs anymore. Instead they will offer codes that you can use to download a game. It's already happening, especially for Xbox One I'm seeing more and more code cards in the stores while the shelf-space for discs has decreased considerably.
I think it's possible that Next-Gen ditches optimal media. Blu-Rays are just too dann slow. By the time games get to sizes of 200 GB+, which will happen rather sooner than later thanks to 4K, you would be messing around with 4 discs for 8 hours just for a game to install on your hard drive.
Download speeds will only increase. Sure, there are still some special cases where it's not an option. But I can See Sony and MS offering some Kind of workaround for that.
