You're an idiot my friend. Dropping the price to stay alive excuse is old too. Everyone said they would be loosing 400-500 dollars on each system sold. Sony's financial reports beg to differ. The only way they were able to stay in the black was because their production cost lowered drastically. Which in terms allowed them to lowering the price. Which in terms helped them sell more. You are an idiot if you don't believe Sony had much to gain from BR winning. (More sony HDTV's sold. more HD players sold. more HD software sold. for examples) And you are an idiot for talking aout of your ass. Do you know how old I am? No you don't so your age comment proves just how big of a moron you really are.

Yeah, im very greatful about that.

^ there you go. a good guy. someone who doesn't try to bring others into an argument and sticks with facts.

First off, Sony's financial reports say nothing about the production costs or how much each item makes/loses. Second off, Sony made only $100 million in profit during the BIGGEST quarter of the year and in gaming history because the PS3 hardware itself still lost millions upon millions which Sony has said themselves. Nintendo made 1.2 BILLION in profit during the same time period.

Oh yeah, I forgot that having a 150 IQ, having multiple college degrees, graduating second in my class(Salutatorian), being a member of multiple honor societies, etc makes me a moron.

Also, I can tell you are a child by what you say dumbass. I suggest you shut your mouth.

ONCE AGAIN, BR HAS NOT WON ANYTHING, STOP BEING A NIEVE DOUCHEBAG!

^ Can you post your IQ test results, and scan all of your college degreees, and what class you graduated from?

Because wherever the fuck you graduated from is stupid, as you can't even spell "naive" right? It's not spelled "nieve" ass!

So you are the dumbass, and you should shut your mouth.

Oh no, I made a typo because I type really fast. I am sure that you never made a typo ever in your life. I don't have to scan anything as I have nothing to prove to you or anyone else on this website, especially when it is filled with stupid little kids like you. I tell you what though, how about we discuss Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Advanced computer routing, how about SQL, computer programming, anything else you know nothing about?

Also, you were not even part of the conversation Sony fagboy so keep out of it. You know what is fun though, getting someone's IP and finding out where they live. I do enjoy doing that with software you have never even heard of before...

Blockbuster droped HD-DVD, Target dropped HD-DVD, Woolsworth dropped HD-DVD, Warner dropped HD-DVD.... Blu-ray players still outsold HD-DVD even though HD-DVD was $150 less. Blu-ray movies still outsold HD-DVD.

Your assuming makes you an idiot. That's something they don't teach you in school apparently. How not to make yourself look like an idiot.

None of that crap matters whatsoever. BR sold more players due to PS3, not stand-alone players. And the main point I have been making is that BR was won nothing because it HAS TO BEAT DVD, which may never happen. DVD has 90% market share of the home video business. It will take years and years to beat it, and by then something new will be out that will kill BR anyway. You my friend have no knowledge of the world or how it works. All you can do is continue to call me an idiot and make the same BS comments about BR being a savior for Sony. I got news for you, the MAJORITY of the population still doesn't even know what the hell BR is, let alone are rushing out to buy it...

 calm down everybody.............
