Bluray was unncessary for the 7th gen. Especially for the price. Not a single PS3 game demonstrated we needed Bluray. The Bluray hardware is cheap now and next gen games will require more space. Seems like a no brainer now. |
I think a big thing for having blu ray is that it's a gateway's into families living room. For instance my dad doesn't play games (he buys some for get togethers for kids), but he wanted a blu-ray player/Media thing that would have good support because blu-rays firmware needs to be updated.
Having that then gets the console centered in peoples living room, and they can run netflix through the xbox, rent movies, and then maybe a few games.
