They can’t just all of a sudden say they will adopt the technology of their major rival in the console battle. That’s a major kick in the balls. They will have to do it eventually and not too far down the track either or gamers who currently are XBOX only will start buying PS3’s for the Blu-Ray (I know some have already) and once you taste the “forbidden fruit” it may be hard to come back.

Their marketing Dept will wait for the right time which is usually around the time of some sort of catastrophe so it doesn’t make page 1.
