I don't see anyone but maybe Sony using discs for their next systems. Nintendo and MS I think are basically done with them.

I've said it many times but your kids will laugh their ass off at you one day when you tell them to play a video game you had to insert a big shiny disc into a shoe-box sized console just to play one game that you had to buy from the store one at a time. 

I know I've said this before but I talked to a higher up at EB Games (Canada's Gamestop) and he told me that they have a plan in place for full digital stores should the market shift that way. I think it will inevitably happen

It will last a long time up until the fibre optic internet connections become the standard but nothing truly lasts "forever" in the absolute sense ...

That doesn't make any sense ... 

If your already a digital only platform then you might as well depend on the cloud to render your games ... 

Forever is an awfully long time but yes physical media will probably always exist.

Sony and MS (and developers) make more of a profit when you buy a game digitially and it eliminates used game sales from which they make no money. The world is ready for a digital only console. The world is not ready for a cloud streaming console (will not happen for a long time if ever)

Sony and MS were both considering not putting a disc drive in the PS4 and XBOne, its pretty much a no-brainer it is happening next-gen

I'll support physical as long as it's around. I refuse to buy digital, when there's a physical copy available.

How so ?

If you have a fast enough connection to download 50+ GB games in a reasonable amount of time such as under 12 hours then doing a 1080p30fps stream in realtime is far more trivial, connection speed requirement wise ... 

They're gonna be obsolete sooner or later.

I guess the PS4 will be my last console then.
