This guy is off his rocker. If the PS3 succeeds, it will because of the games, not Blu-ray.
I seriously doubt that Blu-ray adoption rates will skyrocket until the end of the PS3s life, if they do at all. After all, HDTV adoption is still around 25% (higher now after the holidays, surely) and Blu-ray without HDTV is pointless. It also doesn't help that such a large portion of HD owners don't understand the tech at all and watch their stuff in SD.
The PS3 has gained Blu-ray a foothold and until the PS3 drops to the $200 level, Blu-ray won't have a significant impact on the machine. And by that time, standalone players will almost surely cost less than a PS3.
