Josh, I think you missed the point of the thread being about how the hd-dvd format is dying; that has nothing to do with the xbox360, in fact Microsoft is already planning a BluRay player attachment for the 360.
Besides, xbox360 has a ton going for it anyway. They have some good exclusives coming out for it, including Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human, etc. Not to mention that many multiplatform games that have been released so far run BETTER on the 360 than the PS3.
Now I am not saying that the PS3 is a “worse” console by any means. The problem is that its “Cell” architecture is so much more complicated to code for that many developers don’t want to take the time to do so. In fact, Valve had a 3rd party port Orange Box over to the PS3 which is why it came out about a month later for the PS3.
