ps3 future proof confirmed,
the question is are people going to be picking the ps3 as the blu ray player of choice or a stand alone because if they pick the ps3 then whoop whop for sony.

 

Well yeah actually. If it wasn't for PS3 there would be no blu-ray sales.

Well there would be some... but it wouldn't be pretty.

PS3 sales are way higher then all other blu-ray players combined.

Even when you account for the fact that only 48% of PS3 owners watch a blu-ray product once a month. (or more.)

That's the question though... when are people going to pick up actual blu-ray players... cause most people would be embarresed to have a videogame system as their movie player.

 

Not as embarassing as having an HDDVD player though. ;)

 

Nah. Most people can pass off an HDDVD player as an upscaling DVD player. Most people won't know the difference.

That will be the real test. If Blu-ray stand alones start outselling PS3s.  Never did the PS2 outsell stand alone DVD players. (to my knowledge.)

While PS3 crushes standalone blu-rays despite being way less popular then PS2.
