PS3 sales sure are helping out ALOT. Almost makes those graphs worthless.

 

Yep, that's the issue. Since probably about 2/3 of the graph is PS3's the graph is almost useless. I want to see a graph that shows the sales of the actual discs. Cause we don't really know how many people are using the PS3 as a BD player, it is after all the successor to the most successful game console ever.

While your are correct when it comes to hardware, what ultimately maters most is the fact that disc sales are skyrocketing. So at the end of the day it doesn't matter if it's standalone player or ps3 owners purchasing movies, just that they are buying them.

 

 

What the haters choose to not give credit is the content sales.  Because like gaming consoles, a player means nothing without content.  Also as the content sales goes up, it just gives more incentives for studios to continue to support Blu-ray.  Content sales are more important than the player sales.  If it's making enough money, it's worth the business venture for consumers.
