"Market" has been a term that's accepted and understood by anyone getting a smart phone. "Play" will have to be learned and isn't recognizable as a thing people would use to find apps, books, movies or anything for that matter.
I've already encountered this "in the wild." I was telling someone about an app, and they were digging on their Android phone for the Market and couldn't find it. Not sure what they would have done if I hadn't been standing right there to tell them to click on "Google Play". They said they'd seen that icon but had no idea what it was for.
This is something that they overthought, and that in the end was a terrible idea (specifically the name -- it's fine that they put all the media in the same place). I predict it won't even take two years before they rename the app to something that doesn't require instructions. On my phone anyway it shows as "Google Play", so if I hadn't seen the announcement I don't even know that I would have known what it was for.
