It's already happening on other platforms. Doom dark ages only has something like 28 megabytes on the disc.
I'm not even aware of any ps3/xbox360 games that are fully contained on discord. Maybe Orange Box?
AFAIK, most PS3 (and even PS4) / Xbox 360 games will play and function with just the disc, an internet connection will just let them download updates to the game.
It was PS5 and Xbox One where the discs became glorified physical download codes, and did not actually contain the entire game.
