Does the Wii prove that the HD razor/blade model is flawed?

@raygun: Wii has easilly 18 games i want to buy. That's to add to the more than 18 games i already own for it.

You know, you may not notice but you just pointed out the stupidity in Sonys strategy. Since you obviously want to watch BD; if PS3 didn't have BD player in it, you had bought a BD player to go with your 16 BD:s. Now Sony sold you a BD player they made loss with, instead of selling a standalone player that had been sold at a profit. Sounds like they lost money twice with selling you the PS3.

Stupidity??? You forget Sony was in a battle with Microsofts HD video format. Who knows, maybe the PS3s had a major part to play in blu-rays win, at one time I remember reading that 75% of the blu-ray players 'in the wild' were PS3s. Imagine if the PS3 didn't have blu-ray, would HDvideo have won the war? Then Sony would have really been in trouble. But they were smart and stuck a blu drive in their PS3 to help it win the format war.  So now with every blu-ray sold Sony makes a profit. Simple. And yet you call that stupid strategy?? And they haven't lost twice, jezzus! I have bought 18 games so far, and Sony wouldn't have gotten those sales if I bought a stand alone player, RIGHT?? Also, as far as attachment rates are concerned, the fact that some people bought a PS3 solely as a blu-ray player because it was the best player available brings down the 'attachment rate'. Yet they fail to factor in the profit from blu-ray video sales sold to people who just own a PS3, like me. Shouldn't blu-ray VIDEOS be counted as SOFTWARE sales in PS3's case?? What would that do to the 'attachment rate'? LOOK AT THE BIG PICTURE MY FRIENDS, THERE WAS NO FLAW IN THEIR STRATEGY!

The fact that you called it Microsofts HD video format.... pretty much shows how much you know about the subject.  (little.)
