^^^actually,,the disk will have a high price since the manufacturer stopped producing it(the have to contract an entire manufacturing line to start production again for disk and optical)

also no use for movie watching.(no support)

also they still have to pay Toshiba for using their technology.

 

A) It would be no more expensive than how Nintendo does it with their optical drive technology... and it is only used in the Wii (and previously the GameCube)

B) You can't watch movies on a Wii, and it's still destroying MS & Sony.  Obviously people don't care it can't play movies.

C) The royalties for HD DVD were very small during the battle between Toshiba & Sony, and now that Toshiba has abandoned the technology, the royalties would be even less than before... but the cost would be negligable.
