mmmok. that statement was a low blow (the rest of the world) but it honestly seems that way as you are just about the only person i have come across who does not think the ps3 played a major role. but really this arguement is silly so i am done and I am going to go play video games instead of arguing semantics with someone who is not going to change his mind
Okay, before we go on, played a role in what?

1. Getting awareness for Blu-Ray (which I don't deny)?

2. Helping Blu-Ray get the lead in sales (which I also don't deny)?

3. Or making Toshiba ultimately drop out of HD-DVD (which I do deny, partly due to Toshiba citing dwindling business support for that decision).
Question: Do you deny a direct causal link between result (2) and result (3)? If so, then why? If not, then how do you justify denying (3) and not (2)?

Toshiba denies it. Look at their press release when the dropped HD-DVD. The part about why the did it is, "This decision has been made following recent major changes in the market."

Recent. The PS3 would be stretching it to say it was recent. 



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