Media: Custom Blu-ray, up ot 50 GB.
Compared to HD consoles:  On par with PS3.  Superior to X360.   Bandwidth will be a concern unless part of the custom is much faster drive speeds.
Validity: Somewhat doubtful.  Licensing from a consortium which Sony is the head partner is dubious.  Especially when there are many competing optical disc mediums that would not require the fees to the Blu-ray Group and have higher drive speeds.  And while it's just as dubious, it should be known that Nintendo invested heavily into a company that worked on holographic storage media.  

You forgot the obvius red flag of the fact that they refered to it as Blu-ray something nintendo would never do even if it was bassed on blu-ray, they would have referred to it as Nintendo disc format 3. Holographic discs are still 5 years away from being mass market, including one in the cafe would cost far more, for far longer than Blu-ray in the PS3 both the drives and discs are very expensive to manufacture each disc currently costs $100 plus and even including the ramp up in production for Cafe I doubt they could get it below $1 per disc by 2012 which means Nintendo won't use it.
