Wii 2 going with Blu-ray does sound incredibly stupid.

I mean, Nintendo ALWAYS ends up making their own proprietary format for games because they don't want to pay royalties on it.  They usually buy a failed disc or something similar.

The rest i could see.

when have they used a failed disc, ever? 

GCN used a mini DVD bassed disc and Wii used a DVD bassed disc and before that they used carts, a Blu-ray bassed disc format doesn't seem unlikely at all. No one as far as I know has said it would play Blu-ray movies 

People have been saying 'Blu Ray', not 'a Blu Ray based disc format'. People ARE saying that the Wii2 will be capable of playing Blu Ray movies, and that Nintendo will be forced to pay royalties, some fraction of which will go to Sony. You are correct that the latter is quite plausible (I personally think a HD-DVD format is also quite likely).
