I have a theory that Sony put a Blu-ray player in the PS3 for the sole purpose of trying to win the HD war. I think Sony is more worried about winning that war than making the PS3 successful. Sony will make a lot more money if Blu-ray wins than they would on the PS3, no matter how successful it is. There are a lot more people that watch movies than there are people that play games. Plus, most people buy a larger library of movies than they do games...

It's not looking like that will go their way either.  They're in a catch-22, to win the HD war they need their video game system to sell well but including HD made it so expensive it can't sell well.  Winning the video game contest is pretty much out of reach now anyhow.

You are right. They didn't know that they would have so much competition from Nintendo and Microsoft and find themselves in a deepening hole from which there is no escape.
