Remember, that MS never really wanted HD-DVD to win. If they did, even 360 would have had one in it.
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 - its not about winning, its about neutralising Sony. They have done a pretty good job to date :P
|
So all those people who bought the HD-DVD add-on for the XBox360 were just part of Microsoft's plan to delay Bluray adoption? And you guys LIKE Microsoft?
|
Well.. all those people who bought a PS3 were just part of Sony's plan to make Blu-Ray succesfull, so what's the point?
|
Lies. I bought a PS3 for games. Blu-Ray was just an (excellent) bonus.
|
So? I didn't say that people bought a PS3 just because of Blu-Ray, i said that everyone that bought a PS3 (it doesn't matter if it was because of games or movies) were just part of Sony's plan to make Blu-Ray succesful.
|
um, are you saying that Sony wanting blu ray to be successful is the same as Microsoft pushing hd dvd just so blu ray wouldn't be successful, or successful quickly?
|
I'm saying that both were plan from the companies, bobobologna suggested that people should hate MS because they used the HD-DVD to delay the Blu-Ray adoption, so i if that the case people should hate Sony because they used the PS3 to make faster the Blu-Ray adoption.

The difference here, assuming the statement is correct, is that Sony is trying to encourage Blu-Ray sales for their own benefits while Microsoft tried to encourage HD-DVD sales to sabotage Blu-Ray sales. That sounds like a douchebag move.
