Next Nintendo Console Cannibalizing PS3 for Ideas?

What did I severalise you? Not 24 hours from the master Wii 2 "at E3, if not sooner" rumor, and we're already auditory modality others, like this one from Blu-irradiate.com, that Nintendo's so-titled "young console table" may include a Blu-ray drive. What's next: That it'll support Microsoft Kinect?

Once more, we're told that "sources have revealed" that Nintendo plans to slap a Blu-ray drive in its next console (to be unconcealed at this summer's E3 trade show) with a nod to another rumor Blu-ray.com picked up in October 2009. That matchless had Nintendo planning to release a Blu-irradiatio-based Wii 2 endure year, third quarter. I guess that wasn't intended to be a factual statement.

Wherefore would Nintendo bother with a Blu-ray drive? Blu-ray already seems dated next to more flexible video streaming alternatives currently helmed by companies like Netflix and Hulu. Why not reefer with streaming for video recording playback, avoid the Sony licensing fees, and proceed the consumer price of the solace low? The Videodisk-based Xbox 360 holds its own in PS3 Cross-platform matchups, and third-party developers would silent make the same compromises they do today designing games to work (and around look on) the Lapplander on all three devices.

Then again, we've heard recent talk Blu-ray's faring better than expected, and that consumer spending on Sony's Blu-ray 3D Disc format alone will rise "533 percent in 2020." Reported to reports cited by MyCE, Blu-beam of light's doing so healthy right immediately that the biggest concerns in 2020 have to coif with supply shortfalls, not waning demand.

Relieve, kind of hard to imagine an upcoming Nintendo console with a costly, margin-slashing Blu-ray repel, whatever the perks for Nintendo wonks dreaming of data-crammed 50GB versions of Metroid Prime 4 or Super Mario Galaxy 3.
