HDDVD did the exact same thing for half the price. Sony paid warner and fox over 500 million dollars and that is why bluray won. Sony has lost 5-6 billion on the ps3. The ps3 has wasted more money than any console in the history of gaming |
LOL LOL LOL LOL! I'd love to see Sony's financials for those periods... and I wonder why a company that doesnt even have the largest stake is spending 500 million... And I'd love to see confirmation from this ridiculous rumor. Warner said it was untrue. Sony said it was untrue. Harry Potter sold twice as much on BR then on HDDVD. Blu-ray players were selling at a faster rate. BR had more exclusive studios. Warner would have just made it even making the war last even longer. It was the best desicion to make a choice. Draging the war on was bad for all parties.... why wouldnt warner chose the option that was selling better and making more money?
