Seems like in the end Micro realized that Blu-ray isn't as unnecessary as they said years back, if the rumors are true.

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.

false, a lot of the 1st party titles ran up to 20Gb

I repeat, using a lot of space on a Bluray doesn't convince me we needed Bluray for the 7th gen. The only real advantages we saw was less disc swaps and sharper movies.

There were 3rd party games that used 20GB as. While their Xbox countrerpart used a single DVD.


You're forgetting that bluray would've always stayed expensive if not for the PS3. You have to bite the bullet sometime. The reason why people were calling the PS3 futureproof.


Yeah that was marketing. And wrong.


Nothing wrong about it. This is the reason why the PS3 is still selling and it's competitors are doing less and less.
