"The initial HD DVD drive sold relatively poorly. I believe sales were about 500,000. There's no reason to think a Blu-Ray drive would sell any better."
Thats just inane. No one ventured out to buy the HD drive since there was a standards war going on with HD in the more tenuous position. Now that there is a "standard", people would be more inclined to buy.
Due to some life changes, I'm now in the market to buy an Xbox or PS3, I was looking to this to decide it for me... if MSFT decided to swallow their pride and release a blu-ray option, I would buy xbox, now it's going to be PS3.
