do you really beleive the 250,000 peopel that buy ps3's every month in the us, only buy it for blu ray? are you f***ing kidding me? have you seen software chartz? thats like saying everyone bought the ps2 as a dvd player, which is very very false.

FIXED for the kiddies on the site.

I didn't say all of the folks, but I'd guesstimate at least 30 percent of sales are from folks who want a cheap Blu Ray player and are moved into that direction. You doubt me? Go into Best Buy and ask for a Blu Ray player - the best one - and see where you end up. I can bet cash money they will take you to a PS3 pile.

The fact of the matter is - there's no denying the folks who buy a 360 are buying it for one reason. To game. Even the add-on gave the 360 HD playback, it was more of a distraction than a legit weapon to Blu Ray. Based on the handful of folks I have talked to, and we are talking about the folks were over 40, they said they wanted Blu Ray and the associates told them to buy a PS3.

The only real way to tell if the PS3 is really being bought as a console is to watch attach rates. It's just that simple.
