| Vetteman94 said: Actually Sony probably wont even put the Blu-ray that we all know of right now in their next console. For the past 2 years Sony has been developing a new blue-violet laser that will allow for single layer disc sizes to be at 1TB and higher. Read speeds will be about 10-20X that of current maximums for Blu-ray. |
Possible if they want to wait another 4 years and push 4K video I guess, but considering the slow uptake of Blu-Ray and the lack of 4K content plus the added cost I doubt they will go that route next gen. Likely they will just go for quad layer Blu-Ray 1.5 with 33GB layers. There is usally a ~5 year gap between unvailing and public adoption of new disc formats, CD unvailed 1976 publically available 1982, DVD unvailed (took a long time for the spec to be finalised was first demonstrated back in 1993 as 2 sperate formats) 1995 (first released as a product 1996 in Japan) only really became viable late 1997 when it was propally launched in the USA, Blu-Ray unvailed 2000 spec finalised 2005. Blu-violet cassed discs don't even have a official name yet.
