Blu-Ray won’t last PS3 life cycle says Samsung
Blu-Ray might have beaten down HD-DVD and helped Sony sell more PS3s, but tha company’s plans for a 10 year PS3 life cycle have been dashed by Samsung, which claims Blu-Ray only “has five years left”.
Sony has been pinning its hopes on the format to make the PS3 future-proof, but speaking to Pocket-Lint, Andy Griffiths, director of consumer electronics at Samsung UK said: “I think it [Blu-ray] has 5 years left, I certainly wouldn’t give it 10.”
He went on to demit that 2008 is Blu-Rays year, however, and for the PS3 that can only be a good thing. “It’s going to be huge”, he told Pocket-lint. “We are heavily back-ordered at the moment.”
