that depends if they can utilize the 10+ layer blu-ray properly....if they can make it affordable...it'll be same as jumping from dvd to blu-ray without having to upgrade...8gb to 50gb...50 gb to 400-500gb...if this is the case.....they won't need to make another format for a long time...dvd was introduced in 1996...dual layer was optional but more expensive but came out at the same time....dvd didnt' even start to become the primary source of media until after year 2000...12 years later...dvd is now the best selling option for media....blu-ray will not be replace in 3- 4 years...and also once they start marketing 10+ layer blu-ray there is no need for marketing new format because by the time that much space is needed on a disc, consumer will already have familiarized themselves with blu-ray...new format that comes out will have no chance of winning the next format war....unless they have sumthing real special they can offer like 2 time more space but at half the price of blu-ray...
i believe a firmware is the only thing necessary for blu-ray players to read the 10+ layer blu-ray...and toshiba has already developed it...i think it was toshiba...not sure...i forget who...i'm not in the mood to look it up right now...whoever knows if it's wrong...correct me plz...now i must go back to enjoying my animes...
