What will it take to get casual gamers to PS3? Is Blu-ray enough?

PS2 - 120 million, GC - 21 million, Xbox - 24 million. How many PS2 owners owned a second console?

I think the PS3 is more than a core (by far most powerful!) games console. Blu-Ray movies, TV recording, internet browsing, Home, etc. Also GC, XBox and PS2 had more games overlap and the power of the consoles weren't that much apart, all were signifanctly weaker than PCs with harddrive installed games of the time, this time however the PS3 does provide way more processing power, more bandwidth and has Blu-Ray to its advantage compared to current mainstream PCs. I think this will become obvious to gamers later this year and once that happens its appeal will expand even further.

 The question becomes do they keep it simple to make it usable?  Or fall into the temptation of 'I have all this power, I can make it do a lot more than just...'  Such as, instead of play the Blu-Ray movie have playing the movie just be one out of a hundred options that you can do.  And to encourage you to use the others options, I'll put 'Engage Movie' as number 83 on the list.
