Sony will not do this, Blu-ray will be fine for many years to come. The costs of Blu-ray will be lower than HVD when it releases to the public. Plus, Dont they already have 400GB Blu-rays? I thought Pioneer had made one.

I cant say that MS wouldnt be interested in this, it would allow them to not have to pay Sony for the Blu-ray optical drive.

 

 By that logic, we could have claimed 2 gens ago

 

Sony will not do this, CD will be fine for many years to come. The costs of Cds will be lower than DVD when it releases to the public. Plus, Dont they already have 700mb Cds? I thought Pioneer had made one.

 

And 1 gen ago

Sony will not do this, DVD will be fine for many years to come. The costs of DVDwill be lower than BR when it releases to the public. Plus, Dont they already have 9.8 Gb DVDS? I thought Pioneer had made one.

Your logic doesn't take into account the current and near future data usage.  Using math, next gen will NOT be using 400GB of space.  Going from 480p to 720p is a 4x jump in resolution.  Therefore, a 4x jump in storage space would work out.  Going from 720p to 1080p is a 2x jump in resolution.  50GB x 2 = 100GB.  The odd game may use 150GB.  200GB is PLENTY headroom for the growth in next-gen games.
