Is Microsoft stupid?

Both Sony and Microsoft are in the console war, and it seems to be PS3 pulling to the lead now! What with it's superior graphics and Blu-Ray, why doesn't Microsoft just go with the Dual-Layer HD DVD disks?! It would make the 360's graphics skyrocket past PS3 graphics! I mean 360 graphics are just a little behind the PS3's and 360 is running off of Dual Layer DVD disks.

I don't think you understand what would have to happen if Microsoft used HD-DVD for it's games.

For Microsoft to use HD-DVD for it's games, a HD-DVD drive would have to be installed in the Xbox 360 and Microsoft would have to re-release the Xbox 360 and Xbox 360 owners would have to buy a new Xbox 360 for a MUCH HIGHER price. If Microsoft installed HD-DVD in the Xbox 360, the cheapest Xbox 360 would probably be the same exact price as the 40GB PS3 right now.

Microsoft was STUPID from the beginning because they missed their chance to use HD-DVD in the Xbox 360 before the PS3 came out, but Microsoft didn't want to take the risk with HD-DVD so Sony put Blu-Ray in the PS3 and that's when everything started to change.

All the Xbox 360 fanboys were talking how Blu-Ray would fail, but look at it now. Blu-Ray will clearly be the winner of the format war and HD-DVD is almost dead as it is. It's little too late the Xbox 360 and HD-DVD.
