Even as a gamer I bought the PS3 for two reasons:
Blu ray
PS2 backwards compatibility
I skipped most of last gen because of college and wanted to play a lot of the games I missed. If you go to any HT forum or blog you see there are a lot of people who are buying the PS3 for blu ray playback. If you're interested at all in HD movies the PS3 is the defacto choice for a BD machine. Until 1.1 (and 2.0 for that matter) reach a price point / reliability that is cheaper or equal to the price of a PS3 this trend will continue. Not saying it's a good or bad thing either way but you're naive to think that people are buying a PS3 solely for game playback especially now with the small offerings out there. I'd still say that a huge majority are still waiting on games but there is a sizable chunk that is interested in the movie aspect of the machine.
