the wii is going to fail miserably...
Ok, not fail, but it'll fill in a subniche of gamecube owners and hardcore fans, while losing a bit more market share to the others. But that's alright.. They're not in the comodotized gaming market anymore... so they don't need the numbers the others do.
One thing that's going to HURT the PS3.. online capabilities... I don't think they could measure up to Live, and while I'm very much anti-online gaming (due to all the pricks out there), it's something that's going to weigh heavily on the next gen wars.
anyways... the capacity of a single layer blueray disk should, if my calculations are correct, hold 1-1.5 hour of video at full progressive scan resolutions and bitrates... or 3-4 at dvd quality, or 6-8 at vhs quality. Double those numbers for the inevitable dual layer disks.
And while both formats use the same blue laser, blueray has a bigger numerical aperature, meaning they're able to nearly double the bitrates and capacity of HDDVD.
