After the obvious abandoning of
HD DVD,
Microsoft was said to be in talks with
Sony to get a
Blu-ray drive for
Xbox 360. As we
reported last week, Sony boss
Stan Glasgow said in an interview with Financial Times that they were negotiating about a
Blu-ray drive with Microsoft. At the same time Microsoft's
Steve Ballmer gave Blu-ray the green light, but
that was only for Windows, not Xbox 360.
However, according to Microsoft's group product manager for Xbox 360
Aaron Greenberg, their console is
not ready to go Blu,
"Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," he said. In the near future Microsoft will be building their
Xbox Live as an entertainment
Channel rather than adopting the Blu-ray technology.
In the same article Greenberg said that Xbox 360 trailing
PS3 in sales for the second month straight was not a surprise, but the supply problems are expected to be a thing of the past by April -- just in time for
GTA IV.
