| Chris Hu said: Removing the Blu Ray drive doesn't make a lot of finacial sense since it adds $50 dollars to the console at most removing it wouldn't net much of a saving both to the consumer and MS. Also the X1 is marketed as a multi media device so a Blu Ray drive is pretty much vital until Blu Rays become obsolete. Also the majorit of consumers still don't have fast enough internet (plus a lot of them have data caps) so a drive less cosole still isn't very appealing to the majority of consumers. |
yeah well that's why it is a possibility in the future not for right now.... we are talking 5 years from now.... by then at least in france in every major cities I hope I won't have to check were the fiber lines to make sure I'm raccorded when I move....
and the point of removing the BR drive wouldn't be to make a good price cut but to make it a DD only box netting more revenue per sales by cutting off intermediaries and royalties.... most of the revenue is not generated by hardware sales anyway....
but yeah I agree with you it is not there yet.... but to me it would make more sense than to kill kinect by doing a kinect less bundle....
