MS: Blu-ray absence key to 360 outselling PS3
>> From computerandvideogames.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg has claimed that Xbox 360 has "nearly twice" PS3's installed base - partly because its lack of a Blu-ray drive allows it to be sold at a more attractive price point.
The Xbox product director claimed that "being $100 cheaper [than PS3] is part of the reason we're nearly twice their installed base".
It's likely he was referring to Xbox 360's North American installed base, with 360 and PS3 widely reported to be neck-and-neck in Europe.
"Sony bet on the physical disc, and there are costs associated with that," Greenberg told Edge magazine.
"The fact that we're able to offer a console starting at $199 is a benefit of not being burdened with that cost."
