| starcraft said: Who thinks Blu-Ray profits for Sony and it's partners will outweigh the costs of startup and early loss-leading? Do you believe it was worth sacrificing Sony's power in the console industry? What percentage of the optical disk market will Blu-Ray steal from DVD before downloads take over?

1) Yes, it was worth it. 360 is in even greater danger now. It will not only loose the rest of the world, but the US will follow as well. Next up is 360!
2) Sacrificing the power? If Sony would not have included the blu-ray in the PS3, Wii would still be were it is. Wii rocks at the moment, blu-ray or not. The competition was always between 360 and ps3, because they compete in the same segment. And there 360 is already looking like a big-time looser. So sacrifice?
3) Downloading 50GB HD films anytime soon? Think again. Maybe in 2-3 years time, some of us, are doing it, but mass market? No! 2-3 years from now DVD will be VHS of today, and blu-ray DVD of last few years.
Starcraft, sometimes it's just good to know when you should cut your losses. Toshiba and MS are already seing it and doing it. It's time for you to move on as well.
Lost my faith in VGChartz. Too many stupid and ignorant Americans, even as moderators.
It's a shame, really. "The Boss" should do something radical about this Americanization, but it seems hardly feasible, so my days here are numbered.
