Let's put that into perspective.
PS1 came out when CD's were already dominant and games on PCs were already releasing on CDRoms. No real risk here.
PS2 came out when DVDs were already becoming the obvious choice and the PS2 was far cheaper than other DVD players.
Both of these systems were massive success as well since they came out before their rivals (I don't really count Dreamcast, it was already dying due to lack of support from devs) and they took advantage of the already existing format.
PS3 came out to push Bluray and nearly sank Sony because of that as well as forced the mighty Playstation brand to price itself out of market dominance. Had the PS3 came out at 1/2 the price that it launched Sony would have dominated 360 and probably be tied with Wii. (Wii's distinction would still have allowed it to sell very well.)
Sony is not stupid, granted PSPGo goes against that theory, so they won't push the envelope like that again. PS4 will release in 2012 with a bluray drive and many other features to continue the all-in-one entertainment device.
