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.

But this isnt a new format, its essentially Blu-ray 2.0. BTW Blu-rays use a Blue-Violet laser, in fact the new laser and Blu-rays laser are the same size wavelength, they are just doing different things with it to increase storage.
Plus 33GB layers were announced to be implemented almost 2 years ago, yet they still have not made it to production. Mainly due to high failure rates in the recording process. They cannot be relied on. And all multi-layered discs beyong 2 layers to date have stayed in concept/experimental stage. Sure it would be nice if Sony's 8 layer or Pioneer's 16 layer discs would be put to good use. But those will never go full production.
