You left out the important part... "in America" which makes it correct.
The author assumes Blu-Ray to be a far bigger key in the video game war than it truly is. He's misplaced the HD war as an equal parallel to the video game war.
It then goes on to question whether "Play-Station 3 reclaim its crown as the world's most popular video-game console?"
First, the PS3 never was the most popular so it has nothing to reclaim. If they mean Playstation as a brand perhaps they forget it is really Nintendo's crown to reclaim in the first place.

It's seen as a games console more than anything you f**king knob, I don't know anyone who bought it mainly becuase of it's Blu-Ray capabilities, I'm sure overall 3% must of bought it just for that, hardly *more*. |
Of the six people that I know personally with ps3s (including myself), one of them bought it primarily for Blu-Ray, with the intent to game on the side, and one of the bought it solely for Blu-Ray. That's 33% in my own little circle. Granted, the people I know don't represent the entirety of the ps3 install base, but go to places like AVS Forums and you'll see that there are many people out there who bought a ps3 primarily because it is the best Blu-Ray player on the market.
It may not be 33%, but it is definitely higher than 3%. Probably closer to 10, if I had to guess.
Also, remember that HDTV penetration is much higher in the US and Japan than it is in Australia, so in these regions the inclusion of Blu-Ray in the ps3 is probably taken with far more consideration.

If you're going to start arguing about who came first, you can't ignore Atari.

Playstation was the first home console to hit 100 million and ps2 was the second..... Sony made games a house hold name not nintendo. and when 1 non sony, nonportable gaimng system hits 100 million call me.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
