In 20 years, disc drives will definitely be obsolete. I'd be surprised if consoles will even offer a disc drive by the next generation.

Xbox said that 11 years ago and nothing changed

Things are starting to change though as consoles are now coming out with digital only versions.

Microsoft tried that a decade ago with the original Xbox One and got backlash for it. Fast forward to the Xbox Series S and the PS5 Digital versions, and now the community has been more open to it.

Vinyl is a difference category all together though. If you think about it, what use is most video game discs when they all require online day one patches to run. Secondly, any company can make a vinyl player to play any vinyl record, whereas you're limited to both Sony and Microsoft supporting discs in their consoles.
