Uh, worst quiz ever?

All consoles will use blu ray is equivalent to - Nintendo will not make another console. Nintendo ALWAYS use proprietry storage. They will again.

As for downloadable only, have you seen PSP:Go sales?

As for just the 720 using blu ray - why would they bother using a format where they have to pay a lot to use, when instead they could get the use of a format similar to HD-dvd likely for free?

because toshiba doesn't produce HD DVD anymore and all the manufactury lines of HD DVD are now either closed or produce blu ray.even toshiba makes blu ray now.So cost of creating the disk would go up since you have to make the disk in low numbers(only for xbox) by a 3rd party company.beside it would alinate the next box owners ffrom the movie market and ect...

In the 6th generation, Nintendo researched a new disc format and had someone produce 21 million of them. By predicting the nextbox being unable to use hd-dvd, you are predicting it will sell less than 21 million.

 

As for the movie market, dvd and downloads/streaming will likely be sufficient. If blu ray ends up taking over from dvd, then each house will already have at least 3 blu ray drives in their house by the start of next gen. If blu ray doesnt take over from dvd, then who cares.
