| Doktor85 said: @S.T.A.G.E. Difference between PS3 and PS2/1 Ps3 is a frontrunner of Blu-ray while CD and DVD already existed approximately 5 years. If a format succeeds it will have a lifespan of 15 years. Not saying that the PS3 will have a 15 year life cycle. 8) If Sony kills Blu-ray in 8 years it would piss off the movie industry and other electronics manufacturers. |
Actually no, because Blu Ray existed before the PS3 came out and it was dying. During the PS2 era it caused DVD players prices to drop. This is no different than Blu Ray. The PS3 is the reason why Blu Ray's price dropped. During 2001 VHS was still going strong until the PS2 came out and was one of the key factors in why DVD format went mainstream.
If Sony kills Blu-Ray and comes up with a new format, it's new profits like always.
