All they wanted, was to "delay" BluRays victory over HD-DVD - to make it even harder for it to become adopted as a standard. Its just like this generation - [2] its not about winning, its about neutralising Sony. They have done a pretty good job to date :P |
1. If they would have put hddvd in 360, 360 would have launched a year later and for $150 more. Think it could have stood up to PS3 then? The answer is no. 360 is ahead only because it rushed ahead in the early-gen vacuum. MS did what they had to do. If they could have arranged an hddvd win (income stream, Sony loss in movies) AND a console win (income stream, Sony loss in games), they would've, but they couldn't.
2. Agreed, MS are professional haters.
