I guess it was a coincidence that before the PS3 was released HD DVD was outselling blu-ray at a near 2:1 factor, with the same strong studio support, yet never won a SINGLE week a month after the PS3 was released, even after they gained support from a new studio?

You are fooling yourself my friend. Blu-ray stand alone players have sold far less than HD DVD players. Now, either there are lots of PS3 owners buying movies, or not many HD DVD owners buying movies. I honestly think you know the right answer to that.

Of course blu-ray couldn't have won without all the studio support and the companies backing it. But, if it had all those things, and no PS3, this war would be in a close tie, or HD DVD would have won.

Prove it. I'm basing this off of established surveys, and the fact that the PS3 is rarely cited as a reason for companies switching to blu-ray. Where's your proof otherwise, aside from insisting I have to be crazy? 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
