Sony had 'no choice' but to include Blu-ray in PS3

this argument is simple. bluray was the right choice for ps3 simply because sony had a vested interest in blurays success and without it being included in ps3 the fight against hd-dvd may not have worked out this way.
ps nobody buys dvds anymore. well maybe those poor americans do
the only reason ps3 doesnt sell better is again the lack of expendable income from recent events. the ps3 is the better quality machine with a better 2009 game catalogue

"this argument is simple. bluray was the right choice for ps3 simply because sony had a vested interest in blurays success and without it being included in ps3 the fight against hd-dvd may not have worked out this way."

not in 100% agreement an here is why.

It would have worked out that way. it would have taken much longer though..the 11 largest optical drive manuf. decided on JAVA and Toshiba made it pretty much a no brainer not to support HD DVD for optical drive manuf. because Toshiba priced it way too low that none of the other Optical drive manuf. could have made any money off of HD DVD.

as for buying DVD's plenty of people still buy DVD's

poor American's is a fact yes , but that's is nothing other countries do not have themselves. there are poor people in every country in the world.

as for better Quality Machine:

My opinion that all 3 are good Quality Machines..but some just took longer to get to better quality in other area's than the other's:

with Microsoft : it took longer with hardware

with Sony: it took longer with software

with Nintendo: it took longer to get a better quality Online network

 

all three had area's that were not the greatest but they all have been working on that to be better, than from the start.

as for haveing the better 2009 catalog...for me it's all what game's you like it's your OPINION but i Think all three have a great line up for 2009 for me that is.
