Sony turned there backs on loyal gamers in order to win the High Def format battle! They indeed won the format war in no small part by including Blue ray in the Ps3, but doing so caused the price of the PS3 to be $600.00. Considering a new Blue Ray player was higher than this at the time they figured it would be a no brainer to just pick up a PS3 instead. They overestimated demand for blue ray and didn't realize that most people are not willing to pay so much for a game console. This allowed Microsoft to get a much larger lead than than they would have otherwise and is yet another example of Sony arrogance.
At the time of launch it was only $50.00 more to get a 360 AND a Wii. Not to mention that the PS3 never really seems to outperform the 360 despite the supposed superiority. I honestly don't understand how any loyal Sony fanboy wouldn't feel betrayed by Sony. There desire to win the format war came at the expense of their game division.
