"The second thing is, from a technical perspective, it doesn’t help us in the core of what Xbox does, which is in gaming," Bach continued.

That's straight forward and honest? Does this dude not remember that there was an HD DVD add on for the 360? What, the console is suddenly only for gaming? Point three is the only one that actually sounds truthful.

Re-iterating point three: We backed the wrong damn video format and now it costs too much to invest in Blu Ray and pay the people we shunned till a few months ago.

 

Answer me this: what did the HD-DVD addon do for them?

 

Well, the HD-DVD addon allowed Microsoft to counter what they thought was a pretty strong selling point for the PS3 ...

At the current time, the lack of dominance from either the PS3 or XBox 360 probably has Microsoft looking in a different direction today, which makes a Blu-Ray addon not that appealing to them.

This I will agree with, but as far as I'm concerned, Back's PR is just as garbage as something you would expect from Sony.
