Unless they go the Nintendo route and come up with their own format that is similar to Blu-ray when it comes to storage capabilities. |
To your Nintendo Comment:
Nintendo changed bluray in a way that they didnt have to pay licensing fees. Same with Dreamcast and the Gigadiscs which were practically CDs. And like the GameCube that had a DVD drive with minor changes and physically smaller discs.
In General:
MS WILL GO WITH BLURAY. Even if they change some details so they wont have to pay licensing fees. Makes sense for MS because they dont want people to buy BR Movies. They want them to stream. I already hear people screaming the new Xbox has no Bluray just another Format with a blue ray reading upto 8 layers a 25gb. And a disc that also is scratch resistant because the datalayers are on the same position and the Drives consist out of the same parts "BUT its not Bluray so shove it we knew BR has no future."
In the end the new Xbox will have a BLUE RAY reading discs. With all the technology thats in Bluray. Like Wii U which also has a Blue Ray drive. The technology is identical. But the official BR format cant be played so they wont have to pay Sony royalties for each disc sold. Sony gets all the money for every BR sold. The other BR owners get all the fees for ever Drive build afair.
