XBox 360: DVD format will kill it

| How can Xbox 360 hope to compete against PS3 with only 9GB available on
a disc compared to PS3's 50GB. Even today's games are coming packed to
the gills with textures designed for sub-640x480 resolutions. Now that
the resolutions are 1920x1080 (over 4x), you can expect either
washed-out, low-resolution textures compounded on an HD-display, or
extremely short games. X360 will be the PS2 of the next-generation.

none of the xbox games fills a Dvd9 (at least 6 gb), but Microsoft didn't
express totally on "DvdRom arguments", there are rumors talking about
"upgradable dvdrom", i'm sure that the HD era will begin with xbox360

Mainly due to the fact that few games currently are maxing out the 9GB
available on DVD. Also since they have the hard disk drive(HDD) available,
even if a game needs to ship on two disks, the second disk can be used to
copy content to the HDD. So for instance if there are lots of maps or
levels, they can be placed on the second disk and copied to HDD. IF MS had
not included a hard disk drive then you'd definitely be right.

Given that MS is proclaiming the 360 as leading the High-Definition (HD)
era, I don't think they are going to let DVD format be a major stumbling
block. I think for the first few years games for PS3 will have problems
filling even a small percentage of the Blu-ray disks capacity.

Microsoft *hopes* X360 is the PS2 of the next-generation. They'd love to be
able to have that type of success. PS2 was the first console out of the
gate and they sold more machines than the Xbox and Gamecube combined.
