That's like a race car driver saying having more horses under the hood and better shocks sure came in handy during the competiion.
It's rather obvious that the Blu-Ray disc capacity and standard data streaming rate along with standard hard drives are a huge help for developers trying to make the best game possible.
If they go ahead and make it into a phone then they may have something.
Methinks he's giving that idiot Ken Graffeo and the Universal execs to much credit. They don't seem to be very good at math let alone rational thinking. I don't think they're bright enough to figure out that they need to switch before this summer.
Paramount and Universal are really missing the boat on Blu-Ray sales. The Blu-Ray install base grows every week by hundreds of thousands of PS3 and standalone players.
At least Paramount got paid for their troubles. ...
It's actually slightly newsworthy because as the blogger states in his article MSNBC is owned by Microsoft and NBC Universal.
I bet Ken Graffeo is calling for that man's resignation.
Has Suda ever seen a real live plumber?? They got him right the first time.
That's funny I've owned my PS3 for almost a year and a half and have never had the occasion to talk to someone in customer service. PS3 reps are kinda like Maytag men.
I should call them up just to give them something to do by answering the phone. Have no idea what the number is though.
Go ahead and add dual analog sticks to please then I'll pick one up.
I already own a big screen so it would boil down to who I got to have sex with for six months.
They need to hire some of their fanboys to write responses. They do a much better job putting spins on bad news.
Guess you've never heard of Gamefly, Numbthumb, Gameexpress, or a small brick and mortar called Blockbuster.
Let me fill you in on a secret. Gamers rent some games and buy others.
Sometimes you just don't see the value in owning it long term so you rent it a game like a Heavenly Sword (amazing game). If the developer wants people to buy the game they need to add value and longevity (online mode, dlc).

I remember him. He was the guy who always under promised so he didn't have to fear expectations.
Peter Moore quotes
Moore on Backwards Compatibility: "Hey we didnt promise much so why do we need to work hard on BC. Sony promised 100%, BS in my book they are failing that plan. We are beating them because we promised less."
Moore on product reliability: "Things break. We never said a complex product like this would be reliable."

How bout if Netflix started renting games as well as movies.
Talk about someone whizzin in my wheaties. EA must have paid a ton of money.
OH PLEASE GOD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!
There is good news if you bought puts in Toshiba stock.
Toshiba has no one else to blame but themselves for losing so much money.
Universal better release an official statement soon yea or nay. The longer the rumor stays out their the more it hurts their HD-DVD sales.
Universal's Ken Graffeo is an idiot. They should have fired him a long time ago. HD-DVD is not going to win and if they aren't working on a migration plan to move to Blu-Ray then the CEO is a fool as well.
I just hope netflix and blockbuster can carry more discs. My entire queue is full of Blu-ray disc but there all listed as long wait. I think they both suck with hi-def media.

Valve asked all the websites to pull this quote. It was on some xbox websites as well.
We're right there with you Mike B. But no one would listen to us either.
