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.

 Thats the problem, most of the people didn't care of those features... for a lot of people wasn't a heck of a deal at 600 or 500, they think that is too much for a game console, no matter what can it do...

You love it and thats fine, but the world don't agree with you, lower price, less features (no BC, smaller HD, less usb ports, no card readers) had a lot better effect than the whole 600-heck-of-a-deal pack...

It can have all the technological advantages of the world, but for most of the costumers, is just a game console...
