It has been confirmed by Sony that the PS4 will remain mainly disc based, despite the fact that they have been pushing the PS3 so much towards digital distribution. Although digital distribution will still remain a part of the Playstation 4 with PSN and the digital downloads available there, the PS4 blu ray games will remain disc based primarily.
This is all basically down to the size of the games, the drive the PS4 has can take up to 50GB blu ray discs, and a lot of people simply do not have the internet for that size of file download.
Sony will still be pushing forward to digital downloads/games, but with a lot of the world suffering from poor internet speeds, they have wisely recognised that the time is not yet right to have a primarily digital console. Brick and mortar stores are become less and less relevant, which will mean that we see less forced pre order bonuses and more freedom to developers. So hopefully we will see consoles go to completely digital after the PS4 / Xbox 720 console generation.
