Ow please.. we all know that 10 million ps3's are just used as Blu Ray Players... >_>

Thats bullshit, I might buy that their used primary as blu ray players but the owner would definitely pick up the occasional game, besides as long as the console is working it counts as install base

I agree that is bullshit, why are people still bringing that shit up?

I know a videophile who bought the PS3 at launch as a Blu Ray player. He doesnt own any games and has never rented a game. He doesnt like playing games !

Plus its in connected to the main family TV so if he's not watching a movie the TV is being used for its primary function by his other half.

Shall I pop round and tell him he doesnt exist ?

Go for it tell your imaginary made up friend he doesn't exist lol, but even if you aren't lying maybe a few thousand people at the absolute most 

Oh he exists and Sony are pleased to have his non gaming ass. He must own over 100 Blu Rays.

As for a few thousand at most ! Try to bear in mind that at launch the PS3 was by far the cheapest, best and most versatile Blu Ray player on the market.

I would say up to half a million are used exclusively for media playback. Maybe even more.

Of course I admit any numbers are guess work but you have to remember the situation at the time.

We will however never know for sure.

The thing is even if the person initial intended not to buy any games for ps3 if they see a game they think is interesting in a bargain bin they are going to buy it, so I find it hard to believe that there is no games between multiplats and exclusives that someone who is up on tech enough to have a blu ray player wouldn't enjoy and most people would eventually get a game
