That's strange, cause I really don't make any conclusions, aside that you can't really say anything about the state of BD based on a graph that includes the PS3, without knowing how many PS3 users use it as a BD player. |
I don't agree that it's useless at all, PS3s are Blu-Ray capable devices. For instance not everyone was using SMS on their cellphones when introduced, but if you can't count them in hardware adoptation charts then you would have an install base of 0 units. SMS has been a huge success despite not everyone using this ability.
It's very likely a vast majority of PS3 owners will use the Blu-Ray movie playback feature, by renting or buying movies at some point. Disc sales are already very solid at this point of a new format's lifecycle (better than DVD, dwarfing VHS), the amount of Blu-Ray capable devices is very solid.
Considering everything, I would even say the bulk of more educated (on this topic) movie enthusiasts would rather pick a PS3 over the bulk of standalone players out there (from a quality and value perspective).
