I couldn't agree with you more. Sony won the format war, partly because of the PS3, but it's also part of the reason why the PS3 was so high priced, and didn't sell as well as it's predicesors. For all intents and purposes, Bluray actually hurt the PS3. |
PS3 was expensive because it quality and packs everything in. PS2 also have DVD it have more expensive due that than the GC games were bigger and so games like god of war were created.
the ps3 as a whole everything was expensive, from the XDR rambus ram the cpu custom design (at first), all ps3 have a HDD, it packed bluetooth and wifi, both things 360 LACKS.
blu ray was just logical it was a technology they had since 2003 in japan, it allow bigger games and remove the need for extras disc and give ability to the ps3 to play HD movies.
sony did everything they had to stay afloat like microsoft failed quality control and 1 billion+ rrod control, or draining 6 billion on the original xbox.
