That's what's happening now. Both XB1 & PS4 install the game to the HDD and then any other patches, etc get downloaded from the net. From then on, the disc is only required for ownership verification and the game runs from the HDD.

I don't care for the Switch, but if MS & Sony resort to sticking codes inside empty cases, I'll skip going into stores altogether & stay at home. Atm I still feel like I own a physical product.

I don't know if I'll stop completely, but I definitely won't be buying as many games as I do now, that may be a good thing...

No FOMO means not having to buy on release day.
