What's the point of next gen then? (Score 1)

The next generation for Sony and Microsoft is largely about better graphics. One argument I keep hearing is... Why Blue-Ray? People don't have the HD-tvs for it. Well, why do you need a Next Generation system if you can't enjoy these better graphics anyway? You're better off anyway with a Wii or a Playstation 2 then. Blueray will give Playstation significant advantages in a next-gen environment. Don't forget that those new fancy high definition games will need lots and lots of disk space. Blue Dragon, needs already needs an awful lot of compression to fit the game on a couple of dvds. Less compression needed (thus less load times in games) and more space is a huge boon. The add-on hd dvd player for the Xbox is a fake feature. Game developers need to create games that work on the most basic version of the console available. It doesn't make sense releasing games on HD DVD if most of the Xbox owners can't use those. It makes total sense to me to wait until all features of next gen are there to launch your system. High definition games on dvds will cost you one way or the other. Sony did a lot of stuff wrong, but they did almost everything right that's final, the hardware side. They have a beautifully designed system, it's silent, they don't have huge power supplies hanging around.
