Yep, a more expensive console would have been worse for PS3 and BR. But the at the way things stand there is still unnecessary risk. It’s true that even if PS3 fails, BR might go on to win. But why risk losing a market (videogames) where you have basically full control to make gains in a market (HD format) where you may or may not succeed? Would format royalties be THAT much more profitable than dominance in the videogame industry?
