sony had more than just video games in mind when they added blu ray into their system; they had a format war to win. and i think they made the right decision even though their system is in last place. they finally created a new format that is a success and is actually the new standard. so props to them for doing that.

the only problem is that they arent really good at like... making video games.

I think they are good at making games, they are just really bad at business in general.

As far as the format war, yeah, Sony had the format war in mind when they added the BR. They didn't care if the Playstation crashed and burned, because if BR caught on because of it, Sony would become vastly more profitable.

I look upon that decision as a betreyal. They didn't care if the Playstation failed, and all of us gamers got screwed, as long as Blu-Ray lived on they could just write us off.

It's not secret I dislike Sony(but like the PS3). That jades my opinions, but above is what I truely believe.

wow, you are totally right about it basically being a betrayal. i always understood why they added bluray, i just never looked at it that way before.

thats why i always tell people, you cant trust sony and microsoft. theyre in this industry because they saw that there was money in it. nintendo is the only company you can trust because video games is all they have. if video games goes down, so does nintendo.
