If your volumes are reasonably high, besides licencing fees, the premium on producing a system with a Blu-Ray drive or a DVD drive should not be that significant in the next generation; and, unless you think they will go digital distribution only (a bad choice IMO), it would make sense to base your next system on Blu-Ray. Of course, using a Blu-Ray (or modified Blu-Ray) drive doesn’t necessarily mean that Nintendo will include movie playback.
