Sony pushed blu-ray onto the playstation to help them win the next format wars. They forced the cost onto consumers in order to profit from it. You actually do not recall the whole people will work 2 jobs just to afford a PS3, and stuff like next gen doesn't start unless we say it does. Yea, it really shows how Sony always only had the gamers in mind for all that.

Uh...Sony sold the 20G PS3 at a $306.85 loss, and the 60G at a $241.35 loss, when they launched.  I'm not so sure history jives with that claim.  They weren't breaking even on the PS3 until at least mid-2010.  They were close as of Dec 2009 with the slim costing $37 over the retail price.

I'm talking about them trying to profit from winning the format wars. I don't know what the exact loss per console was; I did read what a few sites projected. Did Sony ever come out and say exactly what their loss was per console sold?
