CD rom drives became popular in PCs in 1990/1991 and game consoles started having CD drives in 1992 and the Playstation was released in 1994; they weren't pushing technology.
DVD rom drives were released in 1996, became popular in the PC in 1998 and Sony released the PS2 in 2000 with a DVD drive; they weren't pushing technology.
Blu-Ray was released in 2006, still hasn't become popular in the PC, and Sony released the PS3 in 2006 with a Blu-Ray drive.
In 2010 (4 years after the first Blu-Ray players were introduced) it would make sense to release a console with a Blu-Ray drive because the added cost would be small compared to the added value.
