While there will probably be some physical media it will not be the norm it will be a niche.

As for the attachment to holding physical media there is a way of getting that without physical media, Special editions that come in a box with maps figure's, posters etc can still happen without physical media for the game.
And finally the attachment to physical media is last generation thinking, the next generation will not have the strong nostalgic attachment to physical media so they won't care about not having a disc. The Article should be titled "Digital distribution will never be enough for me".
