I think when HDDVD is "defeated" and only Bluray is the HD disc then i think consumer confusion will leave and more people will buy into Bluray.

If and when that happens, HD players will be $100 or less and the PS3 will still be $200 or more, making the PS3's Blu-Ray capabilities irrelevent to most consumers.

The PS3 may have given Blu-Ray a shot in the arm but by the time Blu-Ray is mass market in the eyes of consumers, they'll be looking at the much cheaper stand-alone players and not the PS3. 

without saying that the war of format is not even really started.... so far from over.... when you see the latest DVD sale in HD format.... making as much as all the previous release all together... the war is just on the verge to start... the 2 for 1 blue ray is a plus... but it's 2 for 1 on a so small market compare to normal DVD that it's close to irrelevant....
then it will depends also on retailers... when you see walmart signing for an order of milions of cheap HD stand alone players.. or on the other hand blockbuster saying they'll do only blue ray... netflix saying they go for online DL on demand... etc... I'm still going for online DL on the long run against HD DVD and/or BR

Check your history boys, PS2 was selling much higher this time last year as well so The X360 would have had to sell much higher than PS3 is right now to have outsold it.

There is more bad news about 360, but when i look up articles on the net i do find alot on ps3.

I find articles on how ps3 is already dead and now its just the funeral, so dont get it.

I see articles on how ps3 shoved blueray down peoples throats to win the format war, not to be the better console.

What i mean by all this is is that its not just 360 getting bad news spread around (hardware failure is def bad though)

@ rocketpig

There are about 200 million DVD players sold in the US alone. The PS3 doesn't need to be of interest to a majority of future consumers to be pushed by  potentially improved future Blu-Ray market penetrations.

The PS3 IMO is a lot more interesting in terms of possibilities than just a stand-alone player. Even for non-hardcore gamers, for instance discuss the latest movie trailers with fellow movie enthusiasts in Home, Karaoke with Singstar, wireless music intrument supporting games like RockBand, etc.

By putting quotes around smarter guy, I get the feeling you are being sarcastic, just as I was about your question on what you were missing.  In any case, it is clear you will not be using white space, so I will have to manage, somehow. 

I haven't seen that Splinter Cell: Conviction has been announced for PS3, but I have seen that it's been delayed until early 2008.  If history is an indicator, it will probably come out on PS3, eventually.  However, the same could be said for MGS4.  I'm not holding my breath, mainly because I'm not a big fan of the series and I also own a PS3, so I could always get it that way.

As for the other four games, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Too Human and Fable 2 are all being published by Microsoft.  If you define multi-platform as including PC, then you are right.  But in the context of consoles, especially XB360 vs. PS3, I wouldn't include the PC.

 

 

Why look forward for games in the future and you don't know if the game developer is going to cann the project...and then the gamer is hurt because of that game....

 Differenceis is 360 bad news is legit, PS3 new is just moronic bs.

The 360 is offering exclusives context for GTA4, and the console will still cost substantially less. Why would a GTAfan choose the PS3? GTAIV will sell more PS3 because if they walk into a store and see MGS4 and GTAIV on the shelf for PS3 and GTAIV for X360 they will see 2 MASSIVE franshises on the PS3 and 1 on the X360 so this might sway them to which version they will get.I am not putting Halo3 there because if they wanted a X360 and that game because its been hyped to the extreme they will get one THIS year not NEXT.   I do not understand this logic.   2 AAA titles win over 1 AAA title both releasing in the same time period.

 I still doesn't get this logic. Halo3 and Gears says hi...or whatever. The thing is that xbox360 and PS3 will have similar game librarys when GTA4 hits USA. Do you actualy think that any game beside GTA4 will decide were the casual will go? And if it does why would MGS4 be more important than Halo3 a game that has clearly better brand than MGS? I just don't get it I am very sorry.
