Wii discs are DVD-based discs with a capacity of 4.7/8.54 GB
Wii U discs are BluRay-based discs with a capacity of 25 GB

So, most Wii U games are wasting at least 17 GB?

Wii u doesn't even have a blu ray player tho.

That doesn't matter. All custom made discs, from consoles. Are based off standarized disc formats. PS1 discs are just CD-Roms, Gamecube are mini discs, PS2 are DVD's, PS3 and PS4 are blurays. As examples. They're just formated in a custom way, to not be normally accessed. Except by the consoles drive firmware etc. Nothing is actually that customized.

Companies couldn't afford the R&D costs to have a actual unique protection. If it were easier. Discs for consoles would be random shapes. Triangles, squares, etc. And the code would be always something completly random/incompatible. 

Even flash cards are all basically the same. Just the exterior shell is different. To make you buy a certain format, from certain companies. A SD card isn't any better or worse, if sony used them in a PS VITA. Sony's memory cards exsist to just rip you off.
