There's no reason not to use blu-ray honestly. Blu-ray discs aren't expensive to make, and using them for games would benefit everyone as it would bring the NextBox in line with the Wii U and PS3/4.
On top of that you would be satisfying everyone who actually do buy blu-ray discs, and not making the PS4 more attractive (as Microsoft wants to rule your livingroom, they would want to shut Sony out as much as possible).

DVD have already proven a limiting factor this generation in some games, and with asset size only increasing for the next generation, DVD will become even more of a bottleneck.

You realise Wii u isn't using bluray. It is cheaper for MS to use the HD DVD format for games or another Taylor made format larger in space then DVD using the same laser. Which is possible. It would mean more revenue for MS to. Not going to Sony. The only reason MS would use bluray would be for films. But it just isn't that big. I know only 1 person who owns blurays and only 5 films. 5 Years after its release.

This, the only reason Sony pushes blue-ray is because they have their own agenda. MS does not have a stake in the distribution of physical medium and I see no reason why they need to add costly royalty fee that will inevitably pass down to the consumer. As long as the format they use can support roughly 25 gb of data like the Wii U then everything is fine!
