So how did Momma-Mia and Sex in the city do on Blu-Ray? They're two of the biggest movies of the year and represent a demographic that would (probably) not already own a PS3 to play games with ... In other words they are pretty good tests to see if Blu-Ray is reaching out to new demographics. 600,000 is very good sales, but it doesn't show anything except that PS3 owners are willing to buy Blu-Ray movies on occasion. |
People are buying the players in increasing numbers. The PS3 might be the most popular player but 30% of total sales does not mean they buy them "on occasion" in this case, it's more like embracing. Anyway, the other films you mentioned would have done better if BR was more mainstream than what it is now. It still have a long way to go and that way is only up.

End of 2009 ltd sales:
Wii = 67-68m
X360 = 38-39m
PS3 = 34-35m
Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).
