1.How is it necessary? You can download games and play them correct? Are they using the blu ray drive in any way? How come every single game is not exclusive that is on the PS3. If a Blu Ray drive was NECESSARY then how can those games be available for the 360? The 360 doesn't have a Blu Ray drive, so obviously those games can't work then right. Blu Ray was not needed. There were cheaper ways, such as dvd's.
2. Nintendo doesn't use Blu Ray, yet its disc hold like 50+ gigs i believe. Isn't that about what Blu Ray holds? So Blu Ray format again is NOT NEEDED. There are substitutes. Now for the PS4 and Sony, Blu Ray probbaly is the cheapest thing to use, but back when PS3 was launched it was not. Personally i don't think Blu Ray is needed anyway. I think that these large disc sizes has just made developers lazier and taking up useless space. Heck look at some of Nintendo gamecube games. Look how freaking small they were in size and some of th emost impressive games barely even used that size. Then look at some pathetic games on the 360/ps3 and they are using up almost the entire disc space. I see this often too when buying a pc version of a game. A PC exclusive i'll have takes up like 5-10 gigs of my hard-drive and then I buy a mediocre console port to pc and it takes up like 25 gigs. It's like wtf. |
Your whole argument is voided by my last reply. Nintendo's Wii U discs are based on Blu-ray tech. No Blu-ray, no Wii U discs. Of course, like you said, they could have just used DVDs. I mean if they just wanted to start having every game come with more than 1 disc, which raises costs, too. But, it looks like Nintendo, and MS for that matter, have now deemed Blu-ray to be necessary. I guess it's a good thing Sony helped invent that, huh?
