As a blu-ray player the Ps3 is destined for an increase in sales permanently - my prediction of 23 million by end of 2008 was wrong it may be significantly higher.

I think next weeks figures will show PS3 outselling the X360 in the US by over 10% after matching it this week . Expect over 90K per week in the US alone for the next 3 months or more.

In 3 weeks paramounts/Dreamworks latest movies will begin appearing on blu-ray and this will push the weekly Ps3 sales past the Wii for a time in 2008.

Once the next price cut/manufacturing improvement happens ie 45nm cell and 65nm RSX the Ps3 will exceed the Wii in sales as A Blu-ray player not as a games machine. !

A theorised 400million bribe ! if it were this much we will hear about it - toshiba and Paramout never managed to kept their 180mil deal secret. Sony shareholders will see it in the annual shareholders report if 400 million magically vanished. Fact is there probably was no such deal, Blu-ray won by consumers buying it 2:1 over Hd-DVD and it will save the Movie industry from a diminishing DVD market.

Expect PS3 well over 23 million by end 2008. and near 50million by end 2009.

 Hmm I don't know about American prices but in Australia I can buy a 1080p 40inch LCD tv for $2000 (1800 US)

Which is just over 2 weeks pay for me. And this is full HD. 1080i or below televisions are much cheaper. Btw comparing a  ferrari's price to a hi def tv or bluray is hilarious and shows either your ignorance or your willingness to just come out with negative anti Sony statements even if they don't make sense.

Btw he was referring to quality and obviously didn't imply the cost is the same. 

Keep in mind Ferraris will always be a rich man's toy where as hi def will be for the masses  

And how much longer will Hi def remain a rich man's toy before becomming something for the Masses? Try and kid yourself everyone is adopting Hi def at a great rate, but I still see no more than ten percent of the market having embraced it.

Stop talking nonsense and/or being a Sony lover.  HD DVD lost because Sony owns a few movie studios, has the most successful console brand and trojan horsed Blu-Ray into it's latest console.  If you think Blu Ray would have won if PS3 didn't have Blu Ray built in then you live in some fantasy land.  I wish people would accept reality and stop saying rubbish like HD-DVD lost cos it sucked.
