What caused PS3 to rise so much from last week in NA?

Blu-Ray 2.0

It's the HD player to get. As more people move to HD, more PS3's will sell.


What exactly is the big deal with Blu-ray 2.0? I heard someone else talking about it, saying that only the PS3 supports it (or that other players have a harder time updating to it or something). Does it make the picture better or something? I don't see how a firmware update could push sales in any way whats-so-ever.


 In a country of 300 million, 10k is nothing. Just a minor change can effect sales when the numbers are so low. The reason I think 2.0 sells PS3, is when people go to buy a BD player, the sales people have a strong reason to push the PS3. I bet BD players this week sold the same as last week, but the percentage of them that were PS3's were higher.

And all 2.0 really does is bring it up to what HD-DVD has all along. Better support for online stuff, and added features. The picture still looks the same.
