Still no Blu-ray Addon Plans for the Xbox 360

Even though HD DVD has bit the dust, Microsoft still has no plans to come out with a Blu-ray drive for the Xbox 360. I just don't understand this, Microsoft could make a lot more money this way. Blu-ray is eventually going to be the standard format anyway, why not give it a go. You know Microsoft definitely has the money for it. I'm just confused why they haven't done this add on yet, this is Microsoft's response.

"As we have stated before, we have no plans to introduce a Blu-ray drive for Xbox 360. We have a long-standing high definition strategy that runs across gaming and premium content, and it's a strategy that continues to pay off for us. Today, we offer the largest library of blockbuster games and offer a growing library of nearly 20,000 movies and TV episodes on Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace (more than 5,000 in HD). In addition, people have access to 12,000 films and TV episodes on Netflix Instant watch. And coming this fall, Xbox LIVE will launch digital movies with instant on 1080p HD streaming so you can experience the best video quality with no disc, no download and no delay."
