Here in Holland, which is in the top 10 richest countries per capita in the world, Blu Ray had a marketshare of only 1.1% of units and 2.7% of revenue in 2008. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=60800&page=1

So really, BluRay is a niche medium. It could grow, but very unlikely in the coming years, seeing sharp economic downturn.

So I really don't see a reason for Microsoft to add a BluRay player to the 360. Streaming/Downloading will likely become more popular in a economic bad period, since it's cheaper.

 

I take your point and the figures obviously back it up.

But downloading movies at the moment takes hours, at least in Ireland where I live.

Also the older generation myself included still hit the local video store most weekends.

So my original point been with your swanky HD TV sitting there BR would be a nice option to have on 360.

I would just like to see the option to get it on 360 and wouldnt take it as a comedown on anyones part.
