There's a few things that you have to consider tho:Not everyone with a console has high speed internet. Games are only going to get larger in file size and unless everyone who wants a console has high speed internet then it won't work. Are there going to be options from where you can buy those digital downloads? I mean are you going to be stuck with that consoles specific store (psn store/xbox marketplace), because then you won't ever be getting a good deal.
There are many good reasons for consoles to lose disc drives though. Like with less moving parts then the consoles should be more reliable and less prone to breaking. Especially if instead of hdd they have ssd's so with both that and no disc drive there'll be a lot less heat also greatly improving reliability. Digital downloads are also much more convenient.
Still, for the foreseeable future consoles will most likely stick with both discs and digital distribution options.
