Nintendo doesn't use Blu Ray. Blu Ray was anti-consumer last gen if kinect is this gen. It was an extra added that was NOT needed. PS3 could have still worked with a dvd drive instead of blu ray. The Blu Ray drive was an un-NEEDed expense. It was not NEEDED. No arguing over if it was a good thing or wanted, the fact was it was not NEEDED to play games. A cheaper alternative would have worked (dvd drive) or any drive, hell Nintendo hasn't ever even had a dvd drive. Not sure what you call them, but they have never been able to play dvd's or blu rays or any type of movie format. So is adding something not NEEDED anti-consumer? OR is what you guys seem to be arguing "Whatever I don't like is anti-consumer" You liked blu ray and thus thinks its a bonus gift, you don't like kinect and thus think its anti-consumer. So OPINION it is. But difference is, some games REQUIRE kinect to play. No games require blu ray to play. |
Nintendo isn't using Blu-ray? You may want to look that up again. The fact is they are using Blu-ray tech, however, in order to not have to pay any fees, they don't allow playback of movies. Same thing with the Wii and DVD. I mean you didn't think it is just a coincidence that single-layer Blurays are 25GB, the EXACT same amount as a Wii U disc? And their console is slightly more poweful than the PS3, so I guess they felt the larger sized Blu-ray was necessary for 7th gen, as well.
