'Market doesn’t need Blu-ray', says UK Xbox boss
>> From gamesindustry.biz:
[QUOTE]
Speaking exclusively to GamesIndustry.biz, UK boss Neil Thompson dismissed suggestions that the PlayStation 3's in-built Blu-ray drive gives the machine a tactical advantage over Xbox 360.
"Do I want to make people pay £200 extra for a machine with discs that have storage space I don't need? My answer's no, I don't need to do that today," Thompson said. "And I don't think I'm going to need to do that for quite a while."
"I'm not sure the market has moved to high definition [movies] yet," he said.
"And if and when it does, then the way that we've constructed the offering we've made means we'll be able to go whichever way we want."
"This is about the architecture of the hardware. With the PS3 you've got a big, heavy truck that requires a big, heavy engine. With Xbox you've got a much more nimble box that uses software in the architecture of the box in a much more nimble way."
