Onyxmeth and Twestern - How so?

"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.

 

I must agree with you.  It would be easier to say that there was no spin if Microsoft never backed any HD format to begin with.  So I see where you were coming from.  Yes, HD-DVD failed, but no one really knew the outcome at the time.  But if Microsoft was willing to take a chance on an unproven format before, why not take the chance on an advancing format now?  Go figure.
