What is most interesting is the proprietary optic disc format.

 

 Agreed, M$ know they have lost agaisnt blue-ray so now they can shift their focus into creating a disc purely for gaming.

HDVD was a massive faliure, I expect big things here.

 

Well, MS could simply advance the technology used to make HD-DVD and incorporate that as their new media format.  Make a neo-HD-DVD that holds 100 gigabytes.  The problem then becomes the reader because, physically, a disk drive can only spin so fast.  They might need to come up with a new laser technolgy, too.

Personally, I have doubts that even Sony will stick with Blu-Ray next time as they've used different formats for every single one of their systems--and again, Kojima already stated that he'd pushed Blu-Ray's limits.  Since Blu-Ray isn't going to replace DVD's, it's shelf-life may only last as "the new laserdisc" and it may not be destined to last the way VHS or DVD did and is, respectively.
