| Borkachev said: Blu-ray is going to be getting all the big movies. They really want it to succeed and standalone blu-ray player salse are horrible. PS3 is holding together the format for now. Flawed logic. Standalone sales are horrible because of the PS3, which is by far the best player available. No one buys standalones because you'd be an idiot to. |
I disagree. I think most "normal" consumers would be embarresed to have a videogame players as their main format player.
Also i doubt most "normal" consumers would know the PS3 is the best Blu-ray player. How would they?
Which would suggest that normal consumers aren't yet buying it.
If you take out 57% of the PS3's... the Blu-ray number is still well lower then what DVD was at. (43% say they use their PS3 atleast once a month for blu-ray.)
Also, of that you have to take into acount the people who see it as a secondary feature and would of never bought a blu-ray player or would of waited a couple years to save up.
Looking at all the factors it's easy to see that the PS3 "saved" blu-rays ass via getting more people into the blu-ray market then previously were going to be this early on in the lifecycle.
