Blu-Ray a Mistake

A recent blog stated that Blu-Ray should have never existed stating "if a product requires substantial support from the parent to keep it alive, including funding levels that probably can't be reasonably recouped, it has a very high likelihood of failing." Blu-Ray was tied in with the PS3, and it is believed that this relationship lead to the downfall of the PS3 because it wasn't affordable. Blu-ray became impractical due to the price and does not provide sufficient competitive advantages. Of all the new technologies coming out and the frenzy they create. I think it's interesting to find technologies like the Blu-ray that just aren't worth the extra money for the advancement in technology.
