It's starting to be the reality. I cannot see the next Xbox and Sony consoles offering disk drives. They both want to drive the digital media which is the best financial foot forward. More control, more profits, more compatibly, less investment. They all want to cut out the middleman. I feel Nintendo will be the only ones using some form of physical media next gen.

Not everyone will adopt that move.  It might appear like more profit for Xbox/Sony on paper, but they're shrinking the consumer base.  A vast chunk will choose to just not purchase Xbox and Sony consoles. Some will quit gaming all-together, others will migrate to PC gaming. Nintendo will receive some gains.  The profits only occur if they don't lose any consumers.
