Even if Sony "wins", have they really "won"?

Well when Blu-Ray manages to even tap 25% of that 50 Billion dollar industry, then you can start counting their blessings, but as things stand Sony is splitting the profits of 11% of the market if even that with those dozen other companies.

Also to try and rationalize the PS3's blow to the Gaming Division with, "Blu-Ray won the HD format war" is basically to say that gaming doesn't matter but Blu-Ray does.

Sure, Sony as a whole may benefit from Blu-Ray, but their gaming division is shot and I think that's the more pertinent issue here, as well, you know, this is a gaming site.

While it's reassuring to think of Sony as a whole when trying to console the thought of thier struggling gaming division, the health of their gaming division is really something primarily in and of itself.

 Exactly... It's quite a dilema having BR. They mismanaged hardware(lense shortage) and the games division during launch period. Which in return kicks em off the top spot of the wishlist and kills the appeal they had.

 What was sad is that i read some article about Rockstar willing to keep GTA4 exclusive to PS3(forgot the site of the article). What did them wrong was that they were'nt able to make a deal with Sony during those times. Losing interest and with the timely approach by MS, they signed the deal with them giving some exclusivety on 360.

 

btw.. I lol'd at the quote in you're sig. So very true, FFXII didn't even show up in my radar. At least they made the right thing with Crisis Core.
