The Top 5 Reasons You Will Not See A Xbox360 With Built In Blu-Ray
As I grow more and more weary of the system by Microsoft (the 360) due to numerous reasons which I have always expressed, there continues to be growing talks of built in blu-ray technology. Ok, get over it this wont happen. Microsoft cannot afford the hit. Here are the top 5 reasons why.
#5) There Is Still A Potential For Format War
The war is not necessarily won and even at this point Microsoft cannot afford to take a risk. With a loss on every console, adding $100 would be devastating. Microsoft has been one of the larger advocaters of the online HD-download talks. They can probably expect at least one more company to take a crack at Blu-Ray.
#4) Microsoft Believes HD-Downloads Is The Future
Repeatedly at conference and tv appearance Microsoft has kept on asking for a DL system for HD. Ok, without going any further, why in God's name would anyone want to own a download when they can own physical evidence of purchase. No one wants to download content, first off it takes a lot of time... especially an HD file, secondly, it will be hard to keep information. Oop's HDD just went out, oh well I am only out a couple thousand dollars. Microsoft Says HD-DL's Are Future
#3) The Games Will Still be on DVD
Even with a built in Blu-Ray module you would not be seeing games made in the format, unless Microsoft plans to ship one to every 360 owner. There is already 17.98 million people who have an Xbox360 with the DVD player and so you cannot screw them over in order to add a little more disc space unless you plan to give away Blu-Ray players to all of them. Here is a concept, store the game on multiple discs.
#2) Would Raise Price
Ah, the dreaded price raise. Well if you want a Blu-Ray addon you can expect to pay at least $100 extra just for a 360. I do not think people are taking a liking to that idea, they are already paying a good load and there is a nice little thing called the PS3 that already offers the Blu-Ray format. 360 Price Spark With Blu-Ray
#1) The Xbox360 Has Huge Issues
As of late the 360 has had a steady decrease in console sales and a slide in fan base. The PS3 is slowly starting to steal over the 360's market. Microsoft already loses on every console and replaces roughly 33% of the consoles sold. This is a tough toll for a company to take and they cannot afford to lose money by installing a drive that will kill sales due to price. Sales Charts From Launch Till Now
There is the top 5 reasons you will never see a Xbox360 with Blu-Ray Support.
I decided to site sources, which is a first. I guess I just assumed before my readers had heard the stuff I was saying before. So I hope that helps in the way of that.
