Actually, I think it is worth it, because with a Blu-ray victory, some of the profits made on each disc sold will go to Sony. And since the movie market is WAY bigger than the gaming market, that equates to $$$$$. More than enough to recoup any development costs, and seeing as the PS3 production cost has already been halved in only a year, it easy to come to the conclusion that the hardware itsself will become profitable soon (They DID just release an article this week saying how it may be profitable by August). And gaming dominance wasn't sacrificed, imo. The PS3 still has great games on the platform, just that some went multiplatform, but with it's rising popularity, and the 360 seeming to peak, your perceived "sacrifice of gaming dominance" becomes negligible if they come out on top again, right? Not saying that because of BR, the PS3 will mystically outsell the Wii, but, well, when BR becomes mainstream like DVD along with the PS3 being at a prime price point....you just may see the Wii get beat out.
Optimistically, that won't be for a while from now, though
