Is X1 forcing Kinect on us any different than PS3 forcing Bluray on us?

I was clearly saying Bluray has made games worse.

Good night everybody!

How? How did Blu-Ray make games worse? Disk space is 5x larger, and reading speed is 5x faster too. Plus nowadays, the cost isn't that different, and I'm not sure if DVD's could transfer information fast enough to allow a 1080p game to process.

1) Well, sir... that was sarcasm. I don't believe Bluray made games look worse... obviously.

2) The DVD drive in the Xbox 360 reads at 12x. The Bluray drive in PS3 is 1x. Without getting into technical information, all you need to know is the drive in the 360 actually reads data much, much, much faster. Don't believe me? Look it up.

3) 1080p has nothing to do with the speed of the disc drive. Its the GPU that produces 1080p. There are a few 360 games that are 1080p.

1)

2) But the purpose of blu-ray drives is to use blue light to read data. blu-light wavelength light can transfer 5x more data per given space on the disk, this is why BR disks are 5x bigger then DVD's (Dual Layer Blu-Ray disks are about 45GB, a dvd is what 4.7GB? 2x5x4.7=47GB)

3) I think 3 games on PS3/360 run in rative 1080p, and it's because those games are shit and have nothing on screen. From memory it's something like FIFA Street and Virtua Tennis or something.
