Yeah he should of put HD in the title much like you did in this thread in order to exclude Super Mario Galaxy.

OP has no skills does he?

I can see you are getting more and more desperate by moving more and more away from the focus.  The CD/mp3 argument for comparison to the HD optical/video streaming has always failed because these are two different industries with two different aesthetics.  Audio is normaly employed in conjunction to other activities such as traveling (going to a from work, a friend, school, etc...), work (house work, in the office, mowing the lawn, etc...), and verbally socializing (like having folks over for dinner or conversing in the living room over coffee) for examples.  Most of these examples also applied to past situations where quality was sacrified for convience with 8-tracks and cassettes over albums while albums still did well for a while.  But to give your undivided attention to music and music only is the exception.  In regards to audio and video (like watching a movie) requires more of your undivided attention, and more can be benefitted from when given both higher quality audio and video.  Most people who sit down to watch a movie are more dedicated to that action in of itself for the obvious reasons.  Having video on the go is more of the exception. And because of its limit in presentation size for convience, the quality for a 1080p picture on a minmum 40" HD screen with a minimum 5.1 digital decoded audio far outweighs the convience and enjoyment of a movie on a smaller scale.  Now, I realize that you were first arguing Blu-ray vs. streaming which you failed to have a concrete valid argument.  But the comparison to CD's/mp3's was hardly ever a valid one to begin with because of the nature and purpose of the movie viewing industry.

This gen and how long is that, 360 is on its last year.

Ps3 is maybe through 1/3rd of its life

A pricecut could easily change the situation, why are everyone so short sighted?

@ Dodece
By and large you make a very valid and compelling argument. The only issue I have are the emphasis in percentages. From a relative point it might look bad, by from actual numbers things are at least fair. What I mean is that even though several PS3 exclusives went multi-platform, both the 360 and PS3 are still getting exclusives after the announced "assumed" PS3 exclusives went multi-platform as an example. This is part of the reason why I think the PS3 will still be heavily supported by third parties being in third. And I'm not neccessarily saying that it's good being in third. But I think there is a stigma that has carried over from the past two generation of being third because the PSOne and PS2 was the best selling console of its time while being third this gen was nowhere like it was the last two.

Well, a lot of US citizens only can locate the US on a map, Africa??? is that a country??? BTW, France is the capital of Europe, Shakira is from Columbia and South America starts with Mexico...

But in this case, i think it was either a misread or arrogance, not ignorance...

 I dont understand what you are trying to achieve. Your arguement was people like to collect and store the hard copy. If those people who like to collect hard copies existed (which they do) then that would apply to music for them to. The fact of the matter is the music industry is now speaking of CD death.

Moving to your arguement about the quality. The video quality I hear from people on this site and reviews say it's very good. second point Netflix has the ability to stream HD in multichannel sound, but they would require the bandwidth medium to be higher ( as in what the average user will be able to do easily.) They said this wont be available in 2008 but 2009. Put it this way by 2010 HD streaming will definately be available in 1. a higher bitrate and 2. 6.1 surround. With this in mind why the hell based off of the whole (currently arguement) would you adopt a medium which accounts for 9% of the movie industry sales in America when it's future is not certain. Downloads future is certain and it's here now improving all the time.

To save face on our arguement AND QUOTE ME, BLU RAY sales in america will fall from the release of Netflix in HD on 360 throughout 2009.

Cause we all know fanboys "need no math" and also never know defeat... but never really realize that console sales aren't even a big deal... you'll still have good games no matter what... just your console will end up becoming an after thought by most 3rd party developers.

Selnor, you're sad, real sad, and I'll tell you why.  You might coincedently be correct in regards to future Blu-ray sales, but all of your reasons are either false, antedotal, and or pure subjective.  That's been pointed out, and you have had no valid rebuttal against it.  And it's a fact that the music (audio) industry is different from the movie (audio/video) so your reasoning does NOT apply there.  What you are trying to accomplish is to force you view as fact just because it favors the 360 and it works against the PS3.  I favor the Wii, and it doesn't bother me for others to favor something else because I respect them as a gamer.  But to see things so narrowly for a personal petty agenda to deny yourself and others what could be great... (sigh) What more reasoning can I say because it eludes you...

 Do you know I really should write the same thing back at you. You disregard the Music analogy becuase it only favours one side. When there are hard factual figures for Bluray sales against HD movie downloads and streams I'll bring this up with you again. But I cannot talk to someone who will twist the arguement to suit there dying need for Sony's BLU RAY to win acceptance. All I can say is I'm glad I had future outlook and did not adopt at these crazy prices.
