The only reason those Br supporters are BR supporters is for the PS3, they all want more Br player in people homes. PS3 also is a big reason BR player costs came down so fast, make more it costs less.

Sony really does not give a rats ass about hardware BR supporters, its the software that is winning the war.

PS3 wins Br wins, Br wins it really helps the PS3. Thats been the idea from the begining.

 

Just like they did with the UMD? You see, if you have only one company supporting the hardware, it won't be a big success. When hardware manufacturers turn to competing media (because they can't compete Sony, since it's selling with a price, what others can't compete), movie publishers follow because of a)hardware support b)what happens ”behind the scenes”. No one wants to work under a single companys monopoly (which Sony has with UMD and could gain with BD). Idea with BD in PS3 has been that PS3 would help the Blu-Ray (which it really does), not vice versa. You see, Sony works for profit, not for PS3, if they make more profit by sacrificing PS3, they will do that. @ResiRiley: They are not in the console business for 10 years with the PS3, they are in it for 5. PS2 was also in for ten years, and they still released PS3. Without delays, PS3 would have been out earlier, released after 6 years of PS2 release and without 100M+ sales, it would have been dead at the same day the PS3 came out. With the current pace, PS3 will be dead at the same moment PS4 is released.
PS3 was released earlier than Sony Wanted because Microsoft and Nintendo were eager to leave that generation . Sony was forced into the next generation so they wanted the machine that would still be a valid entry in 2 years when they more than likely would have wanted to enter the Next Gen. If Sony wanted to move to Next Gen so early games like God of War II would have been on PS3. There was Never a time that Sony claimed the PS3 would have been out by 2006.
