for my reply, I will quote tuoyo:

"If I said what I want to say in reply to this post I would get a ban so I would just say it in my head and leave you to imagine what I am saying and also leave you to continue to stew in your ignorance"

I am asking you a serious question. Are you saying you are incapable of replying an informative reply without insulting or calling people ignorant? Is it so hard to believe that there are people out there not interested in buying Blu-Rays or DVDs?

 

 

wow, so touchy!

I gave my reasoning, read it.

16.71 million people seem to be interested in it to date which should answer your question.

Or did I understand your post incorrectly?

It's pretty difficult to decode.

and as for "Is it so hard to believe that there are people out there not interested in buying Blu-Rays or DVDs?"

no it's not.

Worldwide there are billions of people obviously not interested in any gaming or home entertainment system.  there are millions of people not interested in anything except trying to stay alive right now. so...what's your point?

Ok I might sue you for quoting me in such a wrong fashion.  There may be 16.71 people that own PS3 but that does not mean all those people are interested in Blu Ray.  I would say if PS3 did not have a blu ray player then there would probably be about 25 to 35 million PS3s sold by now.  Many of those 16.71 people wanted to get the new Playstation but due to Sony's obsession with the format war they were not given a choice of whether they wanted blu ray or not.  Truth of the matter is most people are not interested in spending more on movies for slight improvement in quality.   

 

 

@ Bolded: haha! awesome. I thought it suited my purpose quite nicely, sorry.

those 16.71 million may not directly be interested in the system, but every one of those systems sold is a Blu-Ray player like it not, and have helped the adoption of Blu-Ray as an acceptable format. So even if they're not directly interested, many companies have become intersted in them as potential buyers of their products. Therefore once they do become directly interested, they'll have all thats necessary to enjoy Blu-Ray products. Provided of course that they have HDTV's to enjoy them on.

If neither HD console was HD, the sales would be even more interesting.

That's probably one ofthe Wii's major draw points: it works very well on new and old display systems.

Perhaps PS3 would have sold better without Blu-Ray, but how will we know now? it's impossible to say. The Wii would still probably be kicking its ass all over the planet.

 

on topic:

Squilliam, the OP wants to get Blu-Ray too.
