"I’ve seen prototypes for 400GB discs,” he said. “That’s approaching half a terabyte. If you went to 4K (twice the resolution of full HD), Blu-Ray is still big enough for a full movie. If it’s enough, then there’s no need to do any more development.”

"Speaking at IFA, Taka Miyama, Sony’s product strategy manager for home video marketing in Europe told us: “Blu-Ray is the final format for the optical disc. We don’t have a shorter laser. In the future, if we have a physical media format, it will change physically. It won’t look like an optical disc.”

"That suggests we’ll move to a Flash-based medium, or maybe holographic storage, but Miyama’s not giving anything away."

4k wont catch on because the industry broadcast standard will cap out at 1920x1080 for a long time...therefore tv's will have no need to go any higher than 1080p
