What are your real points again? Sorry I lost track.
And no, my point about Blu-Ray from the beginning is it's quite likely upon researching the options that Nintendo will find that Blu-Ray (like DVD for the Wii), propietary or not, is a good option for several reasons.
One example I'll give is this ... Nintendo with Blu-Ray can go to Panasonic and say "a Chinese manufacture is going to give us $15 a drive for this part, beat that and you have a deal" ... they have leverage and bargaining power with a format that has so many manufacturers.
Some exotic completely propietary format? Probably not. You're stuck with that one supplier. And heaven forbid if they ever start hitting shortages because then you really don't have much of a recourse either. If you're having a problem with one Blu-Ray drive supplier, you can always go elsewhere quite easily. There likely are several Blu-Ray vendors who would love to have a contract from a company like Nintendo and be willing to offer the drive at a very favorable price at that.
