Well don't get me wrong, I love my PS3, but I really don't like the way Sony handled this generation and I just don't see that changing when it comes to the next line of consoles. They're already screwing up when it comes to the Vita, too.

But yes, Microsoft has to adopt blu-ray next generation. It would be extremely stupid of them not to.

Another rumor I've heard multiple times is that Microsoft is working on two consoles - one full upgrade to the 360 and then another system as a set box for the Kinect. While I doubt that is the case, it would be an interesting way to balance out core players and casual players. Charge $400 for the new Xbox and get the core players, then turn around and charge $99 or something for a set box for Kinect, which would get the people who don't want to pay $150 for Kinect + $200 for the system.

As for Move, I really hope Sony ditches it. I don't see that thing ever being a big hit for Sony.
