Michael: These companies cross licence tons of tech. They’re already swapping profits.

I think that a 360 with Blu-ray could be a possibility. Considering the PS3 has begun to outsell the 360 in Europe, perhaps this would stop/slow falling sales by halting people who buy the PS3 purely for its Blu-ray capabilities.

Even if MS had to pay Sony a small percentage for each Blu-ray Drive, maybe they (MS)could sell or licence, some of their far superior on-line technology or code to Sony.

I’m sure some business arrangement could be entered into by both parties.

“I don’t know what to think. I doubt the announcement will come today, that’s for sure. But considering so many PS3s are sold on the strength of the built-in Blu Ray player, it would seem logical to try and get a piece of that pie.”

And profit Sony with every Xbox 360 sold? Hardly.

Xbox 360 with Blu-ray is never going to happen, for starkly obvious reasons.

Would these be the same analysts that are predicting the PS3 to go on and sell over 100m?

Well with every analyst under the sun predicting doom and gloom and with sales plateauing, then maybe they should, innit.

I don’t think they care enough at the moment.

So that’s confirmed, then. MS Blu Ray for Christamas.
