Downloadable HD content isnt comming for at least 3 or 4 years. -------------------------------------------------------- And if it came that soon, it would leave only a very short window for Sony to profit from Blu-Ray in. They aren't going to profit from Blu-Ray in 2007, maybe not in 2008, and you think 4 years from now, 2011, digital distribution of HD content may be feasible? And what if consumers latch onto lower quality video which has more cross-platform capabilities? MP3 is lower quality that CD, but it caught on due to being more flexible. Practically all media format switches involve greater ease-of-use and flexibility for consumers. But right now Blu-Ray is reducing cross-platform flexibility... There are far too many question marks out there to have any faith in Sony's PS3 strategy.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
Satoru Iwata, Nintendo President. Only slightly paraphrased.
