Xbox One Is Pricey Because Microsoft Doesn't Put Consumers First Like Sony Does

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?

Way to downplay it Pug Pug. Well played. Nintendo is most likely paying licensing fees and so is MS.

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

I know that Pug Pug, but its stupid on Microsofts part since their goal is to beat Sony. They cant beat Sony without some head start or initial push. They will lose the bargain multiplat buyers they took from Sony by making their offerings as close as possible to them. The Kinect will not help because the casuals will not care due to price restrictions and lack of demand so its a lost cause. I'll probably buckle down and get an Xbox because I loves myself some Halo.

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.

Yeah, but it would've taken years for that to happen. Can't wait to see 4k tv's drop in price after a couple years. ;)

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.

Looks like consumers are benefiting from Blu Ray and its probably the last hard format before full digital. :)
