Fall of 08: PS3 has the edge in the HD console war.

[Showertea]

So... Why does Blu-ray disc capability just start mattering now? I mean, the PS3 has had it from the start.

I think you're putting too much faith in the holiday bump to push up sales of old games. GTA4 has run it's course. MGS4 has pushed through a majority of it's lifetime sales. While their sales will increase during the holidays, it won't suddenly make the 360 stop selling, or effect PS3 sales in any significant manner, and they certainly won't hurt the sales of NEW games for both systems.

Home isn't going to make me pay 400$ for a PS3. LBP isn't going to make me pay 400$ for a PS3. MGS4 and GTA4 aren't going to make me pay 400$ for a PS3. Blu-Ray certainly isn't.

PS: So what if the PS3 wins the 'HD Console War'. HD Consoles, in general, are selling poorly. They've marketed themselves into a box, and they don't know how to get out of it. In Japan sales of both consoles is negligible, and in America and Others they aren't stellar either.

PPS: Oh, and the Conduit is going to be HUGE!
