The Next X console doesn't have to have Blu Ray considering there are already several competing mediums that surpass Blu Ray's capacity.

For movie playback, it can retain DVD playback and do just fine. Blu Ray, though doing OK, will never replace DVD completely as its ubiquity is something Blu Ray simply will never match.

Sure Blu Ray beat the HD DVD format (thanks almost entirely to the PS3, but don't crown it a winner just yet. Especially with a global recession bearing down on it.

 

I hope the next Xbox DOES have Blu-Ray due to high capacity (up to 400GB), and ability to play 1080p BR movies, plus it would help Xbox "3"'s sales.

 

The Next Xbox will probably use an enhanced HD DVD solution.

Think about it.

The DVD factories can be reworked at nominal cost.

Cheap to produce

Lack of mainstream penetration means media cant be pirated

30 GB capacity

Licensing fees also nominal as Toshiba will probably love to recoup any money from their doomed format.
