PS3 Blue-Ray: Nail in the Coffin for Xbox 2?
It's becoming increasingly obvious that Sony will endow the Playstation 3 with Blue-Ray DVD technology. This will let the console playback high definition DVD movies and have five times the storage space vs. today's DVDs (27gb vs. 4.7gb).
If Microsoft doesn't include an HD DVD drive in Xbox 2 late next year (which seems increasingly likely), it could be a nail in the coffin for the console. Game developers like Rockstar are already complaining that 4.7gb isn't enough for their Grand Theft Auto games. Moreover one must remember that the original Playstation 2 shot out of the gate mainly because of its DVD player functionality. It sure wasn't the launch titles.
