There are actually plenty of differences and both systems have strengths and weaknesses and it shows in their top tier games. No myth about that.

And even if Blu-ray doesn't contribute to the look of a game, I'm not sure if that's been proven false though, it DOES contribute to lots more content within a game. MGS4's main advantage was Blu-ray, so it does account for something, which does matter.

Regardless, the article makes several nice points, even if I disagree with a few other ones.

Bold is 100% false.  It contributes NOTHING to the content within a game, it contributes to the amount of content that can be fit on one disc.  I am in no way denying that MGS4 could not be pulled off in one-disc format on 360.  But it could easily be pulled off in multi-disc format, thus meaning that Blu-Ray in no way enhances the amount of content available, only the number of discs that content is packaged on.

This is not always true, case in point would be Final Fantasy 13, the producer has stated that they plan to forgo the Japanese language track from the western release due to limitation of disk space on the 360, the main issue here is that the extra disk to put those extra content on cost money, and a company is unlikely to add those smaller level content that has small financial impact but caters to a more niche market.

If this game was on the Ps3 only, the Japanese language track could be very easily incorporate as it adds no extra cost and will also make the niche market happy.

On face value, your statement is true, but it does not always reflect in real life due to other factors (primarily cost).

The producer also quiped a question regarding DLC and wondered if Xbox owners would want Japanesse voices and speculated about a DLC for this option..So..While the Blu-ray format makes it easier...It is not impossible to have this particular content on the Xbox 360
