Anytime you bring up the future of the PS3 or Blu-Ray, the first defense you always see is the claims that the sun will be rising just over the next hill. No matter how grim, mediocre or positive the situation is, we're always made to think it will get better with little more argument put to it other than, "Give it a chance". I certainly can't prove it won't get better but its clear how the double standard of "what is console success" is weighted in the eyes of a person backing that console. What I find most interesting in such defenses of the PS3, no one even really claims they love the games out for it all that much, just that they are impressed with the number of games that are selling well.
Though, enough banter, clearly Blu-Ray is struggling even after having ousted HD-DVD as is clear by Sony giving away the damn things. If they were smart they would have pushed to make hybrid discs more inexpensive to produce and lure the market into supporting a product that could be played on DVD players as a DVD on one side and as blu-Ray on Blu-Ray players on the other. Again its the unfortunate philosophy of expecting the consumer to make the greater investment in the transaction, not themselves. Though I'm sure people would gladly work two jobs to buy a Blu-Ray player Am I right?
