Well... I don't think it will reproduce Blu Ray discs, but if both Nintendo and Microsoft chose to use optical media, I'm pretty sure that both companies will use a high capacity disc, just like a Blu Ray disc, but with their own tech (just like Nintendo uses 9GB discs, but the discs are not DVD's... the media is called Wii Optical Disc)

But what I really really want is that, at least Nintendo, chose high capacity flash memory or cartridges instead of discs.

Imagine a 25GB memory card... less loading times and no mechanical parts on the console.

 

 there is several problems using cartiages or hardrives for game storage.

1-more expensive to make than dvd's, cd's, blu ray (all cd formats cost the same to make). also the reason why nintendo abandoned cartiages

2-how would it work when mutiple ones are needed

3-yes less loading time, but there probability be no dvd drive since its not needed for game storage to cut on prices

if you ask me, MS will eventually use blu ray. MS doesn't want to lose console sales simpility because their system is incompatailbe with the only HD format on the market.
