We can all say that this won't happen. We can all purport that it doesn't fit MS's marketing strategy, that it will increase costs too much, or that it would alienate early adopters.
The truth is Microsoft really concerns itself with costs. Strategies are flexible, not robust. And many unexpected events have occured in the industry with Microsoft alone, i.e..
1) RROD admission & 2) Warranty extension to 3 yrs 3) CORE receives HDMI output 4) Black console w/the Elite 5) And the possibility that maybe, just maybe, Halo 3 won't win Game of the Year.
I purported on another blog that MS could adopt the HD VMD drive, same capabilities as HD DVD just a lower cost and readily available tech. So....don't be so quick to count it out. These days, you never know.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”
