People keep asking for Sony to drop BD, yet all PS3 games are on Blu-Ray.

The only way to ditch BD would be to make a PS3 based on downloading games, but it would have to include a huge hard drive, at least 500 GB. I wonder how much the BD drive really costs nowadays as opposed to one of these hard drives.

 

 

I actually think they will go back to dvd format like the 360.

 

OK they might take flak for a while but with brand name and possibly a few sweet exclusives it wont really matter.

 

Remember Sony still have 120 million PS2 owners who might sign up much quicker to a cheaper console that can match the 360.

But, most of those owners bought a PS2 when it was dirt cheap. Look at the numbers - folks are still buying PS2s. And they will keep buying the console. If you have a huge PS2 game library, there's only one show in town that plays PS2 games - yeah, the PS2. Those owners have no reason whatsoever to upgrade to a system that doesn't play their PS2 games. That's why the 360 is gaining. It pretty much offers the same HD experience as a PS3 for much, much cheaper. You can buy two 360s for the price of 1 PS3. Sales are NOT generated by osmosis.
