1. Digital distribution will never ever kill physical media that is just a plain fact. The majority of people still prefer physical media, the tactile sensation of holding the media in my hands. Same can be said for books I prefer to hold the book than to scroll down.
2. South African bandwidth constraints heavily limit buying games digitally online. Having DSL at home is still a luxury for most in South Africa. Downloading a game from Xbox Live is between 5GB and 8GB (The size of a dual layer DVD) and about 3 times the amount of local cap allowed per month.
I personally like physical media because I do take pride in my collection and I like having something I can hold and see, and nothing looks cooler than displaying you game collection.
