Microsoft: No plans for X-Box 360 BD player

[sparksj]

Once stand alone players get 2.0 and go down in price, the PS3 sales will slow down again. The same can not be said for the 360.

I have a PS3 as a Blu Ray player. And, everyone knows that it's the best BR player out their right now. Once that is no longer the case, the sales will go down.

You can see proof of this by tracking game sales. PS3 rarely has more than 2 games in the top ten, if even that many.

Here is a list of games selling more than 1 million copies on both consoles as of 1/1/2008 (from Wikipedia). Even though thre 360 has been out longer, Assasin's Creed and COD4 came out recently and didn't even make the list on PS3.

PlayStation 3 games that have sold one million copies or more.
MotorStorm (3 million)
Resistance: Fall of Man (2.5 million)
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune (1.2 million)
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction (1 million)
