BluRay in PS3 was Win/Win for Sony

Yeah, it's like I said, the public will adopt what the public wants to adopt.

Which, and I don't care if others insist I must be wrong (insisting is not evidence), why the PS3 was not one of the final factors in HD-DVD's death. The mainstream are buying the PS3, but they are not buying Blu-Ray yet. It was the industry that shut out HD-DVD before the mainstream even had a chance to reject it.

Was that a shot at me? After my last response to you, you have declined to address my counterarguments, declined to answer questions about your position, and declined to provide evidence when it was requested. If you feel that my argumentation or evidence is weak or wrong, poke holes in it instead of simply insisting that I'm "insisting". I am in fact responding to what counterpoints you do make.

You say that Blu-ray isn't selling? For that to be an argument in support of your assertion it seems to me that you would have to argue that it was selling worse than HD-DVD and I would like to see your evidence for that. I briefly searched for it myself; I didn't find any recent software comparisons but I did find a story that verifies your statement about Warner's statement while simultaneously undercutting its accuracy:

"In addition to the competition over players for consumers, the PlayStation 3 (PS3) also contributed to Blu-ray's victory for sure."
