BluRay will struggle in my opinion - DVD is great, and there is NO reason for people to want to replace it with a more expensive technology. Once it comes down to $100 players, and $15 movies - maybe. Apart from higher resolution (need an expensive TV to use this as well), it has no benefits over existing tech.
Most PS3 titles will fit the data within a DVD (9) disk. Two reasons - 9gig of data is HEAPS, and secondly a focus on cross-platform development will push games to fit on a 360 disk.
1.) How many standard tv's can you find in stores? I will tell you - few models.
How many standard tv's can you find in people's houses? I will tell you - a lot.
You all talk about the sales of TV's and that the majority of them are HDTV's, but no one has ever thought about homes... i mean, they may sell 10 HDTV's and 5 standard TV's but how do we not know that the 10 people who bought the HDTVs doesn't also has 5 standard ones?
and you said that 1000$ is not expensive but you know people have other needs too, they don't buy a TV and magically solve all their problems. I wonder in which planet do you leave? The majority of people can't even have more than 1 or 2 standard TV's and a cheap cell phone and that's it. What if i have two kids who live on their own cause they are in the university and they both have a PS3? They will need a HDTV each so that's... 2000$? And don't forget that the majority of gamers are teens so they rely on their parents. I don't think that a dad would give 1000$ on a TV for HD. Just my opinion though...
