They’ll probably release a new Series S as a streaming only console. And a new Series X, maybe with a disc drive. Gen after that it’ll be streaming only.
They basically put all their eggs in the Gamepass basket, and Gamepass sure as hell wasn’t physical discs. If it was, it would just be Blockbuster… which is actually kinda funny to think about.
I know they won’t, but Microsoft has the chance to do something hilarious right now.

Thin client xbox and stream games only doesn’t sound too hilarious, but I think that’s what we’ll see.
Is the hilarious thing to follow suit and announce the end of them offering physical disks?

Knowing Microsoft they would rather make all their games rent only and non transferable.
