[QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="RyuHayabusaX"][QUOTE="SolidTy"][QUOTE="Adonymous"]Xbox wasn't worth it for MS....they lost $5billion, and are still in the red on their games division.

It was a LONG TERM investment, like Blu-Ray is for Sony.
Blu-Ray might have been nice if Sony released it later on on PS4 maybe. Blu-Ray hasn't pulled them ahead of Microsoft yet and it hasn't saved them. Now it might still later but it wasn't necessary for PS3 to have success. But don't you see, BLU-RAY beat HDDVD! You see, SONY was thinking LONGTERM. You are only looking at the PS3. Sony is also looking at Electronic devices, movie formats, and more.
Sure, they want the PS3 to be successful, but they wanted BLU-RAY to be a standard, which it is NOW.
If Microsoft is using Blu-Ray for the Xbox 720, then SONY won. See how that works, it's envisioning the future. IS it a gamble?
Sure.
But that business for you.
Uhh...Blu Ray is not that important NOW.
MS took the smart route by cancelling hd-dvd and just waiting till games demand a TON of space, which is going to happen in the future.
Rage is already on 2 compressed dvd9.
