Microsoft stands behind HD DVD for Xbox 360

According to this article, Albert Penello, director of international marketing for Microsoft's Xbox 360, will ship a Blu-ray drive if Blu-ray promoted by Sony becomes the standard format for next-generation DVD He said he said there was a possibility.

By the way, although Microsoft adopted HD DVD drive as an external drive in the form of an Xbox 360, it was said that it did not take the form of built-in because it was not settled at the time of adoption of next generation DVD war.

Also, it seems that the fact that Xbox 360's game titles are not produced on HD DVD is also behind the fact that Microsoft can choose to migrate from HD DVD to Blu-ray drive.
