• Bach: ' People won't pay extra for Blu-Ray '

  
  
  Xbox boss questions why consumers would upscale from DVD
  
  Xbox president Robbie Bach has criticised Blu-Ray’s lack of sales success since the HD-DVD format imploded – and questioned why consumers would bother upscaling from DVD.

  "The reality is there is some difference, but most people look at it and say, ‘I am not going to pay extra for that.’”

  “No. There is nothing to even talk about right now with regard to the next generation. That is so far out that there isn't anything to talk about.”
