1. Your Bluray owning friends probably waited for significant price cuts before adopting that technology. Just like MS did beforing putting it in their platform. Also, its actually useful now that games are requiring significantly more space.

Exactly Pug, Pug the PS3 was responsible for that. The Wii U is even using a form of Blu Ray. :)

2. Kinect technology is being used beyond gaming. I can use that technology to play a movie, order a pizza, browse the web, etc. Xbox isn't just a gaming device.

Sure it isn't thats what Microsoft would want the casuals to believe, but they aren't going to drop $500 on a console. :)

3. The technology would have become affordable with or without Sony pushing it. I'm not sure why you're praising Sony so much for pushing Bluray. Why does it matter so much to you?

Really?....You do know Blu Ray was going to die had Sony not pushed it right? HD-DVD was destroying it. The PS3 dropped the price and expanded marketshare. Read up on it Pug Pug!  :)

1. A format that plays HD media would have become cheap regardless of Sony. I read that Wii U uses a technology similar to Bluray. But are they paying Bluray licensing fees?

2. Xbox One won't be $500 forever. The masses generally don't buy consoles at its launch price. Use a little logic please.

3. Show me a source that proves HD-DVD was destroying Bluray. But I wouldn't care if Bluray was destryed, the dominant media would have become cheap regardless.

Like I said before. Sony didn't push Bluray to benefit consumers. They pushed it to benefit Sony. They probably didn't anticipate digital media growing so fast though.
