I'm convinced this console generation will be the last to have physical media. It wasn't a coincidence that both Microsoft and Sony released this gen with a digital only console option. And since this gen may very well last longer due to the global shortage, it seems to be all but guaranteed. Every year those digital sales when it comes to game purchases goes up and up.

Nintendo most likely will be the longest to hold out, but even they're seeing rises in digital purchases of their games every year.

Nah. People are still too attached to physical media. Plus a lot of people either don't have adequate Internets, or they have data caps.

Really hard to tell, including a disc drive just cost money. For Playstation as an example we see a growth of digital sales (excluding only digital games sales)

The shelves with games are becoming smaller in my region and game stores are turning more and more into merchandise stores. 

Well it is still early Gen we will see what the next years bring.
