If someone points out just how bad of shape Sony are in, they get called fanboys or whatever, but its the God-honest truth
Sony isn't going to move on or give up. If you look at the big picture Sony is overall still running healthy profits despite huge investments in PS3/Cell R&D and losses on PS3 hardware sales. Blu-Ray has already outsold HD DVD releases in North America and Japan, despite HD DVD's headstart and its initial price benefits, the gap is now growing rapidly. An early victory from the Blu-Ray camp is very beneficial for Sony's long term strategy.
Also Sony is the leading company with regard to HDTV sales, the PS3 fits perfecty in the strategy of sellng HDTVs.
