M$ will just release an Xbox3 (or whatever is called) in Christmas 2009 with an HDDVD drive and BINGO they caught up to Sony!!!! By that time the HD format technology will be cheap thus competively priced...
I doubt that Sony will have the cash to support the RD of a PS4 so early...
However this may lead M$ to ditch the 360 as they did with Xbox1...

N:|, microsoft will wait for the format war. They will stick with dvd format until theirs a clear winner for next gen format war. Besides dvd loads faster than hd-dvd and blu-ray.

The reason is because fast DVD drives are very cheap and easy to produce.And since fast Blue Ray and HD DVD drives are new its allot harder and more expensive.DVDs in general are no faster than HD DVD and Blue ray.

They won't be able to release games only in hd-dvd because of the 360s already sold without the drive.

Sorry, didn't notice you said xbox3. Still it won't happen untill at least end of 2010.

uhm blu ray and hd dvd are now officially using the same compression so video quality is on par...and uhm more studios backing up blu ray..more space on disc..lol it took HDDVD 3 layers to make a 51 GB mean while blu ray is already coming up with a single layer 50 GB...besides exclusive films like spider-man,007,POTC, automatically have the advantage over HDDVD...HD DVD is only exclusive with Universal..Better films? yah right...Disney, Fox, MGM,Sony pictures, etc put out alot of great movies that are only available on BD...dont make me post the link of how badly HDDVD is being pwnt by BD
