Physical media is almost irrelevant for games. It's a fake trade-off. There are hundreds of games that sold physical copies, and still rely on a central server or DRM. In two months, one of Ubisoft's top ten selling games, The Crew, will be going offline forever, and all those discs everyone has for PC and console will be useless. That's what we need to be discussing, not whether or not you have a box on your shelf.
This article and the comments fail to mention that this will be Rockstar's first game released since Microsoft's 'No Console Exclusives' policy. I would expand on that, but it keeps getting my comment marked as spam. :\
