They gambled and lost. Simple. PS4 will not not have some magical advantage due to Bluray being cheaper. Component costs come down for everyone equally. Micrsoft and Nintendo are able to use the same parts that Sony uses when they build their next gen systems. Also, Sony has never, not once, used the same media format over again. I would say that it's far from a guartanee that they will start now.

sony has not used the same format over again cause when they launched their systems they already had forstas which were cheap and g and upcoming
CD was present when making PS1 and cheap,DVD was present when PS2 was there and cheap
with PS3 they didn't have a format and as SONY always likes to go for making royalties out of their formats like CD and DVD,they did this time with Blu-ray just that BLU-ray was only released very near PS3's launch and hence pretty expensive
PS4 will be like PS1 and PS2 that they already have an established and cheap format and there is no way SONY will make a new format as they just lost so much for the format upbringing,PS4 will be their jackpot and thats when blue-ray will truly come up as DVD only truly came up with PS2
