Aaron Greenberg: Microsoft says no Blu-ray for Xbox 360
Reuters - March 12, 2008

"Xbox is not currently in talks with Sony or the Blu-ray Association to integrate Blu-ray into the Xbox experience," Greenberg told Reuters in an interview.
Microsoft, which has stopped making an HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360, would continue to invest in its Xbox Live online service that already lets users rent hundreds of movies, including ones in high-definition.
"We're the only console offering digital distribution of entertainment content," Greenberg said.

I was about to post that, thanks Mushashi! Important news. So it looks like PS3 may very well be on top in FEB, adding this to Pachters view. I don't know about March I think by then 360 should(ve) had supply back to enough. He doesn't specify March but alludes to the possibility that 360 could still face inventory shortages in that period.[ Oracle ] [ Level 26 ] [ Rank: 241 ]bids

Microsoft manager also talks about supply situation:
The software giant also expected that supply problems for the Xbox 360 meant the machine was outsold in the U.S. market by Sony's PlayStation 3 console in February for the second month in a row.
"We definitely expect we will trail in February as a result of our supply constraints," Greenberg said, adding: "By April, we will be in a very healthy inventory situation."[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 5 ]bids
