| starcraft said: @boycop Given HD tv penetration is less than 30% in the USA, and minuscule in Europe, I can't see Blu-Ray giving the PS3 much of a boost anytime soon. By the time the mass market is in a position to view Blu-Ray as value-added, the PS3 will be far more expensive than the cheaper Blu-Ray players out there. Sony had upward of 70% of the market last gen. Right now the PS3 is tracking closer to the gamecube than the PS2. And it is highly unlikely it will catch the Xbox 360 WW before the end of 2009, if at all. So yes, Sony made a HUGE sacrifice for Blu-Ray. As for your 50gb downloads comment, thats ridiculous. HD movie downloads come compressed to Xbox live marketplace at around 6-8gb. And what exactly do you mean 'cut my losses?' I haven't bought into either of the two losing HD formats;) |
Well, you should get your facts straight! HD tv penetration is NOT minuscule in europe. It's actually quite close to the US. And 30% of the TV market compared to the WHOLE game console market... hmm let me think, which is bigger... Get your facts straight. And HD TV's are just starting to make it big.
You missed my point. No matter what Sony would have done with blu-ray and PS3, they would have lost to Wii. So blu-ray was not the reason they lost. Missing the casual games market (and Wii remote) was their mistake!
About cutting your losses I think everybody else knows what I'm talking about. But hey, bang your head on the wall if you like to
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.
