Don't think so, every quality product go with Blu-ray nowdays.
All 3 main console systems and several movies.

LaserDisc never actually was a thing, while Blu-ray is without a doubt.
CD and DVD had way more success, indeed, but it's not a good comparision IMO.

You sure about that? I thought the Wii U used a unique kind of disc rather than blu ray?

The Wii U NODs (Nintendo Optical Discs) are basically reverse-ingeneered Blu-Ray Discs to avoid licensing fees (which else they had to pay per disc and drive). They have the same storage size of 25GB but due to the non-licensing the Wii U can't play regular Blu-Rays. Same thing goes with the Wii Discs and DVDs and Gamecube discs and Mini-DVDs by the way.
