It definately makes sense for them to use Blu Ray. It's probably the cheapest way to get dense, higher speed media without resorting to flash.

What if they do resort to it?

Publisher revolt, most likely. N64-style, since then it would end up costing a lot more per unit to physically make the Cafe games (and we know that Nintendo requires more financial input on the publisher's part to make games for their console period than Sony or Microsoft do, so nothing would exist to alleviate those costs)

That "style" can't happen, because flash cards are not the old kind of carts.

True, though you'd still see greater expense that would fall entirely to the publishers, and we know how bratty they can be about this sort of thing.
