As we all know, BD have been touted as the main selling point, over 360, for PS3 ever since PS3 had its launch. Even these days, you still see BD being mentioned as an important feature for PS3, to offset its lack of good games. But what do the PS3 sales numbers mean to movie studios and hardware manufacturers?

Every PS3 sold to view BD movies, is away from the profitable standalone players, whether it's Sony, Toshiba or LG, only makes the industry to lose profits. Despite every PS3 being a BD capable player, every PS3 isn't used to view BD movies, unlike every standalone player, creating uncertainity among the publishers about how many BD players there are in reality and causing them to cut down their investments to BD.

 

What do you think? Discuss.

I suppose you're right.

I think I'll go play Uncharted now, when I've finished that I'll play some R2, then start playing my new LBP. I have to see if I can find Valkyria Chronicles in stores anywhere. By the way, I hope MGS4 gets a trophy patch. I just finished my second playthrough of Tools of Destruction.

Sorry, what were you saying?

OT: Nah. People who want blu-ray get standalone players. People who want a Sony console OR a console and blu-ray get the PS3. Although I suppose it is confusing, they should do a survey of PS3 users, and see which use them for gaming purely (me), gaming and blu-ray and only blu-ray viewing.

 

Ok, that one sentence is getting too much attention. Why it is there, is because people do use it to counter the comments about games library. As i've already said, it's getting used less all the time as the games library gets better.

 

It's very easy to survey with consoles that are online, but since PS3 offers more features for people who play games, not that much for movie viewers, it's propable that consoles online are geared towards gamers, which eat the credibility a little, if Sony would announce stats they'd collect automatically.
