It got people buying the PS3 strictly for the blu-ray player when there was very little interesting games. So yeh it helped.

Yes, Blu Ray was a pretty big advantage for the PS3. However, without Blu Ray, it would have had an even greater advantage: Lower price.

Well I doubt it'd be that much of a difference, instead of Sony losing $200 plus on each console at launch they'd be still losing about $100 with a DVD player. Still losing a lot of money.

Maybe I should research some more. I thought it was accepted that Blu Ray (along with the cell) was a huge reason for the PS3's high cost.
