It means they know exactly what content to PS4 will not be distributed exclusively digitally, but what kind of disc format will elect Sony for its new console?
In the latest edition of GameInformer there is a rumor that Sony preparing a new format that will succeed Blu-ray. Standard disk capacity of the new format will be 6 TB And this should be enough to head for all kinds of content (including 3D) In the format 1080p and uncompressed audio. In addition, the space can be used to implement an advanced security system, which necessarily have to shower game publishers and movie studios.

Ive heard of holographic disks which can hold 10TB but no one has begun making then because their is no need and because of this "Holographic drives are projected to initially cost around US$15,000, and a single disc around US$120–180, although prices are expected to fall steadily. The market for this format is not initially the common consumer, but enterprises with very large storage needs."
Well look at the PS2 it had a 10 year life span and they released a new console before it was up.. They will just release the PS4 and over lap it with the PS3
