The PS3's system seller was Blu-ray.  Sure it had games, but for many the primary reason was it was the least expensive Blu-ray player on the market for a long time.

I question that, perhaps the graphics snobs may have, but I bet the techno savvy or die hard sony fans were more than the blu-ray enthusiats crowd.  Thing was that despite the blu-ray being included in the PS3, it wasn't what sold it.  In fact for the first 3 years the ps3 was sort of lackluster at best.  It might have been Sony's target to pimp it as blu ray, but sales came after games came out for the system. 

Just saying that DVD played a big role in ps and ps 2, but blu ray did not.

It was something like the 40% of all the beginning period purchaser said they got a PS3 was because of the blu-ray. 

The PS3 had a great launch, even outsold the Xbox 360's in North America for a very short time if you align them. The regular Xbox was a DVD player if you got the remote too; so they could get it on either system.

A not so expensive Blu-ray a huge part of the PS3's sales strategy, more people still Netflix on it than play games.  Exceeded only by the Wii as a console for Netflix usage.

Sony did that on purpose they wanted to push Blu-ray, so they included it in the PS3.
