599 USD!!!!!!! Sony really put consumers first. Yeah, right~

Kutaragi wasn't thinking about price when he created the PS3. Sony was stuck with the decisions he made and he was replaced with a more aware tech savy developer. The cell was expensive, but the Blu Ray was the death sentence. It was worth it in the long run because now everyone can get their hands on Blu Ray and it wasnt just a benefit to Sony but the whole Blu Ray association. Kutaragi caused Sony to bleed through the teeth just to reach $600 with all the parts in the PS3.

Nothing you said was a real benefit to consumer. Sony pushed Bluray for the benefit of Sony.

The average consumer didn't care which format won the "format war." The average consumer doesn't even buy movies nowadays.

Yes....Sony definitely did it for themselves.

Second generation Sony started that made new formats available for the masses. They started out with DVD's and MS followed them a year later and then they used Blu Ray. They used CD's but it didn't help mass market prices of CD players.
