I expect more wired "rumors" coming until May 21
Yep. Bloggers gotta milk them clicks before the real info is released.

It's a little silly of me to jump to conclusions like that, I mean it's not like they released defective hardware in the past right. :lol
How can a company with Microsoft money possibly have trouble with licensing. I'm not buying it.
If true, Sony be cock blocking like a mother fucker. lol
Don't think so since MS have great relationship with samsungdepends what they are doing that might infringe on the terms of the license. It's not always about money. Sounds bogus tho.

A reliable source tells us that Microsoft is even further behind than what the Kotaku rumors have stated saying that they have only begun development on Xbox Durango software three weeks ago.
Our reliable source explained that Microsoft had forgotten that for a launch to be successful, there needs to be games that people want to play. Their work has mainly been focused on hardware including the rumored Kinect 2.0 which includes work on fifteen tech demos that demonstrates the power of motion sensing. Unfortunately for Microsoft, none of them are considered by staff to be actual games that consumers will want to purchase.
Work on the highly-anticipated Halo 5 also only started three weeks ago and so far 343 Industries anticipates a completion date in 2015. Microsoft is currently struggling for ideas on a Halo spin-off that can be completed in five months. Some Microsoft developers like Turn 10 and Lionhead Studios have been contacted to see if they can quickly develop spin-offs like Forza Banshee or just replace the main character of their game with Master Chief.
Weve also heard from industry insiders that Microsoft has just now begun trying to secure more games for the Durango. Contract negotiations have been difficult for them as many companies have already signed exclusives with Sony and even Nintendo. Although our source can not reveal what companies have rejected Microsoft, he says that they were desperate to get their foot into the next-generation door and were tired of waiting even if it meant signing with Nintendo.
Microsoft is also cutting costs in any way possible to bolster and hasten the development of new Durango software. Our insider says that Rares funding has been cut so drastically that they can no longer afford to work on anything except Kinect Sports 3. It is a tactic that has been used before on internal studios like Rare when they were caught working on new, original games not approved by Microsoft.
Another source tells us that Microsoft has learned some lessons from the Wii U launch and has redefined the term launch window to mean one to two years in the future.
Of course, it is better to release defective known hardware (and repeat all the losses thanks to RROD). It sound logical.
A top gaming site on these rumors:

From a parody site, obviously
I don´t think that Sony alone can block this, isn´t it like a BD-association where lots of companies are involved? I mean, doesn´t every company (unlike Sony) actually like to make money?
1.8TF/1.2TF is not 20%. And that's not even factoring the bandwith difference. Even if Durango gets X360 SOC to provide BC, it's still going to be over 20% in raw performance difference.
Which would suggest its a mistake they would be keen not to make again. Having said that, if hardware design mistakes were easily predictable, they wouldn't be made in the first place.
I don't know, it depends on how much influence Sony has in those little circles but I'm sure they would do anything they could to get the upper hand, as would MS. It just seems a little odd that this could be what hold up their competitors product and it just so happens to be something that Sony is directly tied too. It could be totally untrue but it does make for a good conspiracy theory.

The other companies have too much stake on the board. Sony can't do anything about it alone. IT's been a popular point of speculation but the board won't do anything that will stop another major consumer product from adding blu ray since they want to increase its market penetration.I don't know, it depends on how much influence Sony has in those little circles but I'm sure they would do anything they could to get the upper hand, as would MS.

Where in my comment did I make the claim that MS had previous knowledge that their hardware was defective and that they sold it to the public regardless? All I'm saying is that it happened once and could happen again.
Surely if Sony were blocking an otherwise typical licensing deal in that fashion, they'd get in some real anti-competitive hot water?
If there's a problem, it'll be because MS has bungled their licensing somehow... and given the swathes of lawyers they keep on the ready, I would suspect the story is just bogus entirely.
So we're back to entertaining conspiracy theories? Oh joy. That's nothing more than click bait, there were dozens of them before the 360 and especially the PS3 launched.

yeah no, that would be illegal but there's nothing illegal about arguing over terms of the contracts/fees, and if that just so happens to cause some delays and stress for MS I think Sony just might be perfectly fine with that.
That issue was well known and yet the hardware was still released. This is a crazy business and people will do anything for marketshare/profit.
Looks like it is just one dude crossing his fingers and toes.
Getting crazy in here Sony can not block anyone from using Blu ray .
I wasn't aware of that, but it doesn't really alter the fact that if they had known in enough time to fix the problem then they doubtless would have done so. I'm suggesting that future hardware problems are still possible, with the best will in the world, for any manufacturer, although not I think likely at this point. Just saying.
You could've picked a less graphic clip and people would still get your message.(hyperbole.gif)
thats why I didn't make a thread. seems fake.
I laughed.Should ask Reiko to do it.
According to the source it looks like Microsoft is having trouble getting the Blu-ray license for the new console mounted player (because, apparently, of some kind of long time Sony exclusive to the console market), and this caused a delay in the time to market.
So since no one wanna open a new thread about this "rumor" yesterday,a dude who running this site just opened a thread for this "rumor"
What if Durango never existed and this is all an huge and elaborate ruse from MS?
I've watched Argo yesterday
