| starcraft said: The profits made on each disc sold go to the Blu-Ray disc association, a small amount of which then goes to Sony. However, in addition to paying their share of the bribes and R&D cost, Sony was forced to disproportionately sacrifice their business interests by gimping the PS3's chances. The PS3 fanboys keep reminding us how well the PS3 would have done if it had launched a year earlier at $399, and without Blu-Ray, it would have. |
Just an FYI. THe BD disc association has yet to collect any royalties from anyone, and probably won't for a few years. They first need to get established in the market.
As for PS3 fans not wanting a BD player in there system, and I one that is VERY happy it's in there. My 360 sits unused for 7-8 months out of the year. If it wasn't for the BD payer in the PS3, it would be doing the same. As it stands now, I used it 4-5 times a week.
As a piece of consumer electronics, the PS3 has been a much better value.
