Worst: Investing In HD DVD & No Blu-ray Support
Yes, yes, I know about the theories that Microsoft didn’t want to support Blu-ray because Sony was involved with the format. So instead, Xbox 360 used DVDs, like the PS2 and OG Xbox. (It was also cheaper to produce a DVD-powered console compared to Blu-ray.)
Later Microsoft offered an HD DVD player attachment. That format never took off and Sony’s decision to include Blu-ray support in the PS3 was the right call. As the generation went on, it became wild how many big Xbox 360 games shipped on two, three, or even four DVDs while PS3 games rarely exceeded one Blu-ray. When the Xbox One arrived, Microsoft learned its lesson and supported Blu-ray.
