The author assumes Blu-Ray to be a far bigger key in the video game war than it truly is. He's misplaced the HD war as an equal parallel to the video game war.

It then goes on to question whether "Play-Station 3 reclaim its crown as the world's most popular video-game console?"

First, the PS3 never was the most popular so it has nothing to reclaim. If they mean Playstation as a brand perhaps they forget it is really Nintendo's crown to reclaim in the first place.

If you're going to start arguing about who came first, you can't ignore Atari.

 Who no longer produces a home console.  I didn't ignore Atari but the fact remains they are no longer in the race to be crowned at all hence why the only console manufacturer of the 3 that has a crown to regain is Nintendo.
