Probably. Price parity and also digital they would make higher profit.
Without specific details on what publishers are/ were being charged and whether there are any subsidised costs, how do you know? maybe you are right, but unless you have actual proof on these issues, its just baseless accusations. |
The dev costs is a fact. Blue Rays are more costly, that is a fact. Sony could have eaten the cost but honestly, I highly, highly doubt that.

Yes but it wasn't prohibitively more expensive, it still costed just cents and not dollars to produce blu-ray discs plus quite a few AAA games on the X360 came on multiple discs so that also closed the gaps too ... Developers aren't trying to get away with anything, their trying to find a solution where the platform manufacturer forced prohibitively expensive media on them just like the N64 days ... |
Blue Rays at the time did cost dollars more. It was still not prohibitive. Btu this is not the same situation either. These are NOT comparable to the N64 Game Pak. They are just flash chips. They are not even that fast or that high capacity. They are not prohibitively expensive.
