Overall the attatchment rates for the PS3 and 360 have been very similar, with the PS3 edging out in Europe and the xbox edging out in America. Whats the point of this thread? There isnt one.

*Yawn*
I'm through with this thread. It is unlikely that this thread will end well, so I'm leaving before the ban-happy mods decide to start banning people today.

And we thank you for putting a giant red target on your back.
Seriously, what do you guys expect to happen when you keep insulting the moderators on this forum? For all of us to suddenly see how we were wrong all this time and bow at your feet, begging for your graces?
Sorry to sound snarky but the mod bashing around here is getting real old, real fast. Some of you act as if we get paid to deal with the morons, fanboys, and whiny users that PM us, report users, and cause disturbances on a daily basis.

Gaming wise for Sony this is serious trouble. Call of Duty 4 has sold 4.3 mill on 360 and only 2.6 mill on PS3. Uncharted has only sold a measily 1 mill. Ratchet and Clank 750,000 The orange box is also dire on PS3. My point is I take an educated guess that 30% of PS3's are sold purely for the Bluray films. It's the cheapest way to view Bluray. And these people arent interested in the games side. This poses a big problem for Sony. Developers will be reluctant to bring everything to the console. And with these attachment rates so far behind 360, Microsofts machine remains firm favourite for devs first choice. And for that matter It's definately the gamers system. It's a shame because the PS2 was so good. Hell I still play mine now. Another problem Sony have is that the porn industry is and will always be exclusive to HDdvd because Sony turned them down(same thing happened in betamax era). So HDdvd will never fade away because of the porn industry. Where Sony go from here I dont know |
How does that pose a problem for Sony? Yes, it's bad for their gaming division. But what if they don't really care about the direction of their gaming division? Sony packaged the PS3 as a blu-ray player because they wanted to ensure they'd win the format war. I don't care who you are, the home entertainment/movie-watching market is a thousand (at least) times larger than the gaming market. Winning in that market is so, so much more valuable than winning in the rather small gaming market (that IS expanding, yes, but not that much in the direction the PS3 went, so that direction is a moot point).
So, Sony having that high a percentage of PS3's sold for blu-ray films... isn't a problem at all! In fact, it's a very, very good situation. It means that their strategy is working - that they've gotten nearly 10 million blu-ray players into homes by making their gaming system one of those players, and that 3 million of those were provably bought TO be a player. This means they're doing magnificently in the format war, and the PS3 has most definitely been a success.
I tip my hat to Sony. It's a shame for them that the Playstation brand had to suffer like it has been, but it's been a very ballsy move that is paying off tremendously. Whoever's idea it was to package the PS3 as a blu-ray player, I'll bet they've been promoted and given a hefty raise. Very smart move.

Now, I firmly believe the majority of the mods here do a great job, but petty comments like that are exactly what make people bash you guys in the first place. No mod should abuse their power and target somebody because of a statement like that.

Sigh... That was a joke. I hope you realize that I've banned like four or five people the entire time I have been a moderator. I'm probably one of the most relaxed mods around here.
I may sound like a prick, but I let people get away with a lot before taking action.

Heheh, fair enough. I'm just continually shocked at how many people take me seriously around here, especially given how asinine some of my comments are.

Digital Playground to Support Blu-ray Disc Format
Posted January 12, 2006 by Marwin
The adult film maker Digital Playground, which claims to control 40 percent of the US adult DVD market and is reported to have sales of $12.6bn in 2005, today told Adult Video News (AVN) that they've decided to support the Blu-ray format and release BD movies as soon as hardware becomes available. "We feel that of the two formats, it's the one that's more future-proofed," said Digital Playground's president and founder, who identifies himself as Joone. "We'll probably start with Pirates and Island Fever 3, because those are top sellers and they're already available in high-def." Digital Playground has been preparing for the shift to HD for two and a half years now by shooting all of its films in HD and currently has a library of over 50 movies ready to be released in HD with five new movies added every month.
