Come on this is done, its finish, let HD die with what little dignity it has left.

No more Blu-Ray/HD threads needed.

Well it not done yet.

Toshiba is still managing to try and fight back, they are not going to go that easily.

Unless either Paramount or Universal decide to switch to Blu-Ray of Toshiba stops making HD-DVD altogether, we be seeing alot more of this kind of news.

Either way, HD-DVD is dying a slow a painful death.

are u living in this world or another planet?

BD outsells HD DVD 85:15 in NA

BD outsells HD DVD 87:13 in EU

BD outsells HD DVD 98:2 in JAPAN

war was over at the very beginning . Whats worse for Toshiba is the fact that BD standalone players even started outselling their HD DVD players 2:1 in USA (doesnt take ps3 into account)

was there ever really a war? It was finished ages ago

Find it and post it up.

They should just make games. That sounds crazy, I know, but, hear me out.

No need for dev-times to.take 3+ years. Just stick to formula. Not every game needs to be bigger & better than everything else. Not every game needs to be GaaS. Not every game needs to completely re-invent the wheel.

They KNOW how to make a cool Splinter Cell game; Interesting story, 8-10 levels, just go and make it. Give the people want they know, want and love. It doesn't need to be a shared online experience. It doesn't need to be an epic big open world. It doesn't need celebrity voice-acting. Just make a cool new SC game, and the fans will be happy and pick it up. Easy. Done. Next one.

Same for Prince of Persia, Watch-Dogs, Assassin's Creed, Trials, Rayman, Brothers in Arms, etc.
