it will have Blu-ray - and we all know that blu-ray is crap because of the extensive testing everyone has done on it and because it doesn't have any large backers.
it will have 6 processors - and that's bound to be too hard to program for, just ask Sony's games division who aren't making any games for it.
it will come in 2 format - and everyone knows any console that comes in 2 formats never sold, such as the NES with accessories, Megadrive with built in games or the 360.
It will have odd shaped controllers - which will put people off, because odd shaped controllers never work, just look at the Atari Joystick, the N64 pad or the Xbox controller...
and most importantly, it will cost too much - because nobody ever bought a console that cost more than other cosoles at the time just because of the brand name...

I'm just curious. I don't know anything about consoles anymore.
Basically, it allows for the playback and recording of High Definition video with 5x or more storage (25gb single layer) or 50gb (double layer) than a standard DVD and reads using a blue laser, rather than the usual red one.
The rival to this is HD DVD, which uses the same technology, but slightly different disc design to give 15gb (single layer), 30gb (double layer) or a triple layered disc with 45gb of storage. It can also be applied to standard DVDs to bring them up to 18gb.
Unlike consoles, there doesn't seem to be room for more than one format in the home cinema world...
It's difficult to tell.
