I disagree....Blu-ray is enabling Sony to be the leader in moving the TV/Movie market forward via Sony's BD and 3d initiatives. Sony knows that being a leader sometimes means that you have to bite the bullet.
I knew that Sony realized that a $600 video game console, wouldnt sell well at all. But they also had plans from the begining to find ways to make the PS3 cheaper, and I was reading back in 2007 that the PS3 would eventually cost just $300 to make. Well, by late 2010 when the 32nm PS3's come out, we'll see Sony beating that forecast, only 5 years after the PS3 came out. Not bad for something that originally cost Sony $800 something dollars to put out.
