This is a good point. No system is perfect. However, their is a fundamental difference in a system lacking something that might not be necessary, and another system forcing you to pay for something that might not be necessary. I don't think that last gen graphics, or lack of a guaranteed HDD has really had any effect on the sales of those systems the way BR has had on the ps3. I fully believe that the ps3 would be in a much better place, at this moment in time, if they hadn't included BR in their machine. They focused on selling their movie format and made ps fans front the bill. I don't think the inclusion of BR was ever about games. Whether that changes in the future isn't really clear. I think it could continue to drive them into the ground or be their saving grace. Guess we'll see soon enough. |
you're right, i'd been much better off paying $400 for my PS3 AND another $1000 for a HD stand alone player... i now see the error of my ways.
