MCHufnagel Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Check out this rumor. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/06/26/rumor-mi...ther-companies/ These things never work out well though. A friend of mine had a Pioneer Laseractive w/ Genesis. While it was great, it never took off (laser players were very pricey). I can see it now. Someone like Panasonic will make a Blu-Ray player that can play 360 games. Or better yet a PS3 that can play 360 games. This way Sony and MS can defeat the evil empire (Nintendo)!

Seob Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Finally a solution to the red ring of death. Hopefully other manufactures can make a more stable version of the 360. Would be funny if sony would acquire a license. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper_Eye Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Ugh... what a terrible idea. Not that I actually believe it to be true. It is most likely a junk rumor. But if it were true I think it could be the one mistake that pushes MS out of the console making business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtticGamer Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 It would be great to have a Panasonic Blu-Ray player with 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it were true I think it could be the one mistake that pushes MS out of the console making business. With all the money they've lost, maybe that's how they plan to bow out. However on the flip side, if they do this then they can potentially axe the hardware making side of their console (The side that loses money) by dropping it on other companies. Then MS can focus entirely on the software side and licensing (The side that makes money.) In this case they'd be getting money both from the software licensing and sales, but also licensing from the hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many issues that come with doing business that way. The quality control issues are a big one. Don't forget that the 360 is profitable now. I think MS is pretty much on the schedule it has always planned. Japan may be an exception to that. Speaking of... maybe it would help them to have a Japanese company produce the Japanese version of the console while MS continues to produce the rest.
