I still think Sony's mistake in terms of the GAMING market was Blu-Ray. Now overall for their business, that may yet pay off. (Maybe. But HD-streaming Netflix boxes, for example, are selling like hotcakes. I still think the Blu-Ray format won't an out before on demand systems take over - we'll see.)
But in terms of just gaming, they really have one game that really uses the Blu-Ray fully - MGS4. Or am I missing some? Yes, they might have to put a game or two on 2 discs, but stopping for a minute or two once or twice to swap discs midway through a 20+ hour game is really no different than installing ahead of time.
Because they waited a year to get Blu-Ray ready and they had trouble keeping up with Blu-Ray parts at the beginning, not to mention the added expense, they got behind early. And they haven't been able to dig out yet. PS3 is the best hardware there is, but at what cost? It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think history will write that it was a failed gamble on their part.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
