according to christensen's own explanation of top-down disruption, BR is disruptive, as is XBL. More highly discerning customers willing to pay more for a better product that doesn't exist in a given market that a group of people wish was an available option. Also, I'm not entirely sure Kinect is bottom-up disruption. I think both are top-down which is rarely fatal. When I said that they are occupying several layers I meant that there are layers above wii that the wii could have moved upstream into.

I think XBL was more disruptive then BR, because I think BR would have made the head way it has now because of the agressive nature of Samsung personally.
At the time XBL came out, sure gamers knew about online, but they never REALIZE that they NEEDED online until Microsoft made consumers realize it. Thus Sony & Nintendo followed suit. I compare online to motion controls because motion controls was already known, but we didn't realize we NEEDED it. So according MS & Sony followed suit.
...With Blue Ray it's no gurrantee that all platform holders will have it, but we know for sure that they will have motion control & online.
The Interweb is about overreaction, this is what makes it great!
...Imagine how boring the interweb would be if everyone thought logically?
