The console market will only give a boost to Blu-Ray, via the PS3. The 360's HD-DVD add-on will go nowhere.

Not quite worth posting a thread about right now, but I think
this supports my statements that Cell processor yeilds were the real force that kept the PS3 from being on time. Between this and the Blu-ray, the PS3 is going to be pretty costly to produce.

How are ROM prices doing these days? Given how costly many video games are, and how dense and cheap flash is getting, I would think there would be some advantages to returning to the good old days of video game cartridges. True, a 1GB cartridge can't hold as much data as a DVD, but having data be readily available without long delays could reduce the amount of data that was required. Whereas CD and DVD video game machines tend to wear out or break, there are lots of Atari 2600's that are over 20 years old but still work great.
