| Zappykins said: I am going to revise what I said. After thinking about how many people I know who bought a PS3 because it could play Blu-rays. So having a Blu-ray significantly helped the PS3's sales. But the format war significantly damaged disc sales, the industry, and launched the door to streaming. Also, I think Microsoft pushed streaming, and their 1080P 5.1 streaming more because they had to counter blu-ray. |
Actually, MS was personally financing Toshiba to continue the war. Another reason why they also used an HDDVD add on. They wanted the war to drag on as long as possible, promoting consumer confusion to gain an upper hand against both ps3, and to further it's own streaming tech.
