i would assume its something that will be used on their next gen console also. they need a better disk format and it would hurt them quite a bit to have to pay sony bluray royalties. seems like they want to start using proprietary disks like nintendo has been.
i can see why they dont want to bite the bullet and pay royalties, but it'll be difficult to be the center of the living room if you cant play movies and bluray is where movies are headed.

No...just no.
The royalties on Bluray would be chump change, most wouldn't go to Sony, and MS holds a patent on a portion of the bluray codec.
This thread has NOTHING to do with next gen hardware, it's about improving existing hardware with firmware upgrades.
Blueray is where hard copies of media is heading, everithing is moving to DL and streaming though.
So as you can see, your post is full of mis-information.
