Looking for truth would involve reading all sides, then making a decision.  Not "Stop Reading" when you find something you don't like as you do.  How can you know when people "leave out" information when you don't read the whole posts.

Your comments are full of contradictions and lack of any real content.  Please refrain from your nonsense and only contribute when you HAVE something to contribute.  The forum will thank you for it.

@ Gamerace

First of all I think many people who buy the PS3 mainly for its Blu-Ray movie functionality are also interested in playing games.

Secondly if mom and dad aren't interested in playing games at all, maybe their kids are. Or will be introduced to gaming later on through friends.

I don't think this will be a major issue, attach rates are pretty decent overall, but many are waiting for the heavy hitters. Some may have bought the PS3 early because of backward compatibility and are waiting from their Gran Turismo 5, GTA IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, etc.

Without those two games, the Wii has 14 Million sellers, that have combined for over 35 Million units sold;  the PS3 (including bundles) has 7 Million sellers that have combined for 12 Million units sold.

You must be mistaken about your figures.  DMeisterJ is clearly "someone who looks for the truth, and doesn't believe fanboy rants from people who leave out information that makes thheir theory fall apart."

So clearly there aren't 14 wii million sellers. Sorry.

*puts fingers in ears and stamps feet following DMeisterJ out of thread*

Whew that was TOO close.

what utter BS is the OP going on about...

look at the attach rates closely..

Even as a gamer I bought the PS3 for two reasons:

Blu ray
PS2 backwards compatibility

I skipped most of last gen because of college and wanted to play a lot of the games I missed. If you go to any HT forum or blog you see there are a lot of people who are buying the PS3 for blu ray playback. If you're interested at all in HD movies the PS3 is the defacto choice for a BD machine. Until 1.1 (and 2.0 for that matter) reach a price point / reliability that is cheaper or equal to the price of a PS3 this trend will continue. Not saying it's a good or bad thing either way but you're naive to think that people are buying a PS3 solely for game playback especially now with the small offerings out there. I'd still say that a huge majority are still waiting on games but there is a sizable chunk that is interested in the movie aspect of the machine.

Wow impressive numbers.  Were they pack-ins at any time?  If not then that's really good.

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.   Ok sir, you phail at maths. CoD4 on PS3 has a 27.6% attachment rate. CoD4 on 360 has a 25.8% attachment rate.

 This guy debunked the OP, yet everybody has ignored his post.

@makingmusic

I wonder why {rolls eyes}

MikeB said: @ Gamerace If people buy a PS3 as a cheap blu-ray player, what is there motivation to buy a game like CoD4? It's not accessible to noobs, nor are most other PS3 games. So they'll continue to use it as a blu-ray player, and maybe to download stuff.
