Well yeah selling PS3's because of blu-ray is an obvious(I know of only 2 people personally but I've seen/heard of it before) it's both good and bad though.. For the moment Sony still loses on hardware so if people are buying a PS3 only for Blu-ray it will hurt the electronic entertainment division and possibly help the movie division of Sony(there's more studios and I'm not positive if sony gets as big a fee for releasing on blu-ray as games) Depending on how it works out it could hurt them in hardware losses if they can't make it up in games and movies. Edit: However Blu-ray beating out HD-DVD can only help consumer opinion on Sony, will blu-ray be a standard as long as DVD or VHS, I doubt VHS but DVD length is possible if other formats don't come out(I know of 1 that's out and at least 3 coming with much higher storage capacity and faster data access times)
