"Wow did you know the PS3 is a console and a Blu Ray Player - That is great Value" or vice versa - "Did you know the Ps3 is a Blu Ray Player and Plays Games (good for the kids)". It's going to boost sales because people want a good product with features that cater for more than one use. Lets not forget how popular the ps1 was because it played CD's. I was wrapped. |
Pretty much every console that has ever been successful has been "new" technology which can no longer be considered "Bleeding Edge" or even "Cutting Edge" ... The reason for this is people have to want to own the system but it has to be cost effective and developers have to have the experience and motivation to take advantage of it.
CDs existed for (roughly) a decade, and CD rom drives were common when Sony released the Playstation with a CD drive in it. DVD existed for over 4 years, DVD drives were becomming (fairly) common in PCs, and DVD was really starting to catch on as a consumer product when Sony introduced the PS2 with a DVD drive in it.
As you can see, Blu-Ray is not similar to CDs or DVDs ...
