It's all just wasted R&D. Lets spend millions to create a brand new proprietary format so we don't have to use the other guys format. Sony is just as bad as everyone else but that doesn't make it a good idea. The blu-ray in the PS3 was just too soon, but next gen it is a perfectly good idea.

 

I don't think it cost nintendo too much to develop the gamecube's format.

 

I guess to be fair to GC and Wii they used a prior format developed by Panasonic.  I don't know what licensing fees Nintendo has to pay to Panasonic for that but in the end its still a licensing fee.
