Former Microsoft executive J Allard said that when it came to the core functionality of the Xbox 360, HD-DVD distracted his team from its core beliefs as to what the gaming machine should focus on.
"A new format for high-resolution movies was not important to us," Allard told GamesTM in an interview.
Instead, the former chief technology officer for the entertainment and devices division at Microsoft said "leading the charge in online gaming" was where his team concentrated its focus.
"We spent a stupid amount of time on stuff like HD-DVD in response to the competition," Allard said, referring to Sony's decision to ship the PS3 with a Blu-Ray drive. At the time, both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray were fledgling formats, both vying for a foothold in an ecosystem where only one could survive.
