It is good for Sony when component costs of Blu-Ray players drop, as the PS3 production costs should drop as well. It is good for Sony when Blu-Ray increases in market share, as players become cheaper. It is bad for Sony when a 360 + Blu-Ray player cost less than a PS3. |
I think the last point if true at some point may not be bad for Sony at all. Technically the PS3 will still have the advantage if 360 games will not take advantage of Blu-Ray advantages (up to 50 GB storage and scratch resistant discs) and the 360 does not support things like 7.1 lossless audio or HDMI 1.3 and maybe the latest Blu-Ray standards (which requires storage).
And it's so much more elegant to have an all-in-one solution, instead of a big power brick, rigid cabling, a console, an external Blu-Ray player and maybe other external upgrades like Wi-Fi. I think Sony wouldn't mind if former 360 HD DVD advocates would buy a Blu-Ray addon to replace their HD DVD drives.
