PS3 a faster money sink than the Xbox? I can see why no price cuts soon.

So Sony has had some losses w/ the PS3? Big deal, the addition of the Blu-ray drive has allowed Sony to get some fat coin from the Blu-ray related business. Bd is already selling at 10% of the physical media market in america so that means that for every 9 dvds sold, there is one Blu-ray movie sold. That is a pretty big thing if you ask me.

Blu-Ray revenues have to be split between the dozens of members of the Blu-Ray forums.

Also, Blu-Ray itself would have cost billions to develop, a cost that wouldn't be reflected in the game division losses.

Add to that the fact that the moment the Blu-Ray market gains any traction piracy will ramp up exponentially in a way DVD never faced early on, and the threat of downloads, and you have the very real possibility Blu-Ray succeeding wont have been worth the sacrifice of the gaming division for Sony.

 

Billions? I don't think so buddy, no one in their right mind would invest that much into a disc, and unless you start using credible sources, I will be calling bullshit on every post you make.
