Pioneer has come up with a whopping 16 layer Blu-Ray disc capable of holding 400GB. The disc has 16 layers, each layer being 25GB, thats a lot of information it can hold.
Now the question is, can it be played in the Playstation 3 for its games or movie playback, whatever? Pioneer has stated:

Quote:

“Since the optical specifications of the objective lens…are the same as those for the existing BD discs, it is possible to maintain compatibility between the new 16-layer optical disc and the BD discs.”

This means that we can probably put one of these 400GB disc in our PS3’s, but why 400GB, we will see any gaming benefits from this? Of course we will, simply because developers will be able to add a lot more content. Games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and Heavenly Sword reached nearly full capacity of a dual layered 50GB Blu-Ray disc. But then again developers can use a 100GB blu-ray disc if they ever need to go above 50GB, i highly doubt they will go above 50GB this generation.
Games can fit on an 8GB DVD, HD Movies can Fit on a 25GB Blu-Ray disc so why do we need a 400GB you may ask? Here’s a famous quote:

“Nobody will ever need more than 640 kB RAM [Bill Gates, 1983]“

Anyway, down to a technical point of view, we won’t be seeing 400GB games this generation simply because they won’t be able to mass market them due to the failure rate each layer produces.

400GB this Generation? No.

100GB this generation? More than likely.

I can see Final Fantasy XIII being on a 100GB quad layer disc.

400GB Blu-Ray disc’s for the Playstation 4 anyone?

I think for the time we are at right now 400GB is unnecessary, but it is cool by showing off what they can do lol.

Maybe Metal Gear Solid 5 or 6 will probably be on a 400GB 16-layered discs.
