WiiU doesnt use blueray, they have their own format

The file structure inside the BD disc is proprietary... the drive and discs are Blu-ray.

It's like the HDD for PCs... Linux format is ext3 and Windows is NTFS (the Windows can't read ext3 HDD... and Linux needs a software to read NTFS)... of course Nintendo uses some kind of encryption.

 

so wait it is blueray? are they paying sony for anything? or how does this go?

as far as i can tell its propitery technology only used by nintendo. no they do not have to pay blu ray royalties. probably the reason they used propitery technology, to save money, and also offer their own piracy protection. was the wii ever hacked to play dvds? if not then i doubt the wiiu will ever play "blurays discs"
