I don't think it's 1:1 with Blu-Ray. For starters, they said the technology as well as the drive was developed by Panasonic. Sony developed the Blu-Ray technology. On top of that, with the many different optical disc technologies available this generation, I wouldn't see Nintendo supporting Blu-Ray because:
1. It's more liable to pirate, since it's the dominant HD format.
2. It allows WiiU discs to be mass produced elsewhere besides Nintendo. Less service costs to print discs for 3rd parties.
3. Using Blu-Ray tech requires paying royalties to Sony; Nintendo's rival.
These 3 conflict directly with Nintendo's business strategy.
