Foolish. The same was said about DVD.
History shows that people have a hard time adapting and accepting new changes that relate to lifestyle and money spent. VHS didn't catch on very quickly, neither did DVD. They may have caught on a bit quicker than Blu-ray, but because they were still Standard Definition format which was the 'norm'. High Definition is a huge technological advancement that some people don't currently see the 'need' for. When SD slowly begins to fade out in the next 3-5 years throughout everything (even cable TV), people will have no choice but to explore the capabilities of HD formats such as Blu-ray.
Either way, next gen is going to bring some huge changes in consoles. Microsoft will NOT be using DVDs next gen (this I can promise), although Nintendo probably won't take a giant leap forward out of DVD-ish type storage capacities (as they didn't really take a huge leap forward after GameCube).
Just because other consoles don't want to adopt a disk format doesn't mean its doomed to fail. After-all, the format isn't used for ONLY gaming. If it was, sure... it would be doomed. But when its also has a firm hold in the Movie and (shocker) Porn industry.... its here to stay. |
LOL he's probly still mad that Blu-ray burried his precious MS's HD-DVD in no time.
And your right DVD and VHS didn't took off quickly, they both took their sweet time till they eventually became the standard but ppl never learn and keep repeating the same FUD over and over again.
Anyways I quoted this post for the laughs when next box uses blu-ray, I bet you he will suddenly be a huge blu ray fan once it happens. XD
