Blu Ray Success Will Lead Playstation 3 The Winner of This Gen!!

"Nielsen VideoScan data for the week shows 72.6% of high-definition discs purchased by consumers were Blu-ray and just 27.4% were HD DVD. HD DVD players have been selling for as little as $98, one-fourth the lowest street price for a Blu-ray player."

It seem like Blu-Ray is really going to win..Sony Just announced that 1 million Blu-Ray movies were sold across Europe!! Lets face the fact HDDVD is dead. It was a smart move for Sony to put Blu-Ray in the PS3..They are going to make a lot of money back and that will lead to cheaper PS3s to be manufacture...Also its doing great across the globe, but somewhat struggling in NA(suprise, surprise) . This Christmas Sony need to push as many numbers as the 360 to compete against them. I feel next year will be the biggest for them, and they going to gain a lot of ground back, and dominate everything from games to movies..

They have a lot of exclusive games dropping like big titles such as MGS4, White Knight Story, Killzone 2, LIttleBigPlanet, War Devil, Infamous,Heavy Rain, Socom, Eight Days, Team ICO Game(they been working on it for awhile now)and etc. The PS3 isn't going anywhere!!

The PS3 will have nothing to do with the success or failure of blu-ray. Even with the ps2 selling 100 million units (of course some of them were 2nd and 3rd time buyers after their machine finally crapped out after years of gaming) had no impact of dvd sales. Even if the ps3 sells 20 milion, it will be a very small percentage of how many actual players are sold. And from the looks of it, the attach rate for movies on the ps3 is small, so it proves to be even less of an impact.

Over 130 million dvd players have been sold in the last 10 years, with over 10 million being sold still this year alone. That, coupled with a much higher attach rate for dvd's, show what little impact ps3 will have on the decision.

Now, the 360 hd-dvd add on player does count, since those don't play games and are bought specifically for watching movies.

I don't care who wins, but your overestimating the success of blu-ray from ps3 sales.

I think we should get mad at the movie studios for picking sides and not allowing us to chose ALL movies in either format. Then let the choice for players (blu-ray or hd-dvd) decide which would win. If that were the case, we all know who would win though. Unless blu-ray players were to drop in price and sell for the same as hd-dvd players that is.

There just are not enough advantages to blu-ray for even a movie buff like me to pay a premium for the same quality picture.

I can't believe they listed games as a selling point for the PS3 :lol:

The Sony CEO already admitted that the best blu-ray will do is stalemate HD-DVD.

I love it when Cows still think something will succeed even when the Sony CEO says it will fail :lol: The ultimate denial.

You must take into account that increased sales of the PS3 actually hurt it unless it has a high software attachment rate.

its true that blu-ray has a massive lead (in a relatively small market), but HD-DVD is still annoyingly having some hold out victories. Paramount and Dream Works are both HD-DVD exclusive (http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/patterson/8538).

i hate this stupid format war.

Blue-Ray this, HD-DVD that? What the hell is everyone talking about? I remember Gamespot.com having article regarding a possible stalemate between the two formats. People are getting into HD now, but not everyone has a HDTV. How many times are we going to hear that by the time next year rolls around everything on cable will be high-def? A HD movie is about $30 minimum. That price alone is enough for most consumers to favor DVDs. I think Blue-Ray and HD-DVD will be surpassed by something else because technologyis changing too fast.

The fight between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is like the fight between Xbox and Gamecube. The real big dog in DVD (like PS2 was)

Just because BR is beating HD-DVD does not mean its successful since its goal is to replace DVD as the standard disc.

Because movies have everything to do with gaming...TekkenMaster606

Yes. When your console plays bluray and bluray is a success people will buy the console and that will drive software sales. Also games go onto the bluray disc which fits much more data. Uncharted uses 23gb of data. You would have had to put it on 3 dvd discs.

Let's just disregard the fact that blu-ray players/PS3 are still too expensive to become a mainstream product.

And focus on the fact that blu-ray movies are still too pricey to become mainstream.

Have you seen the Playstation 3 software sales lately? Even mobile games made EA more money than the PS3. :lol: The sales of movies isn't helping PS3 games sales at all.

People that want a blu-ray player, but don't give a crap about a game system will just go get a blu-ray player.

2 Big facts you are overlooking :

1) Sony exec's themselves have said that the HD war is currently at a stalemate with no clear winner.

2) Last month Sony was currently giving away 15 free blu-ray movies with the purchase of a ps3... that's pushing those numbers up just a little.

People that want a blu-ray player, but don't give a crap about a game system will just go get a blu-ray player.

But you fail to remember is that the PS3 is the cheapest Blu-ray player out there.

so, uh about the dominating in both videos and games... ummm... what games does the ps3 have again? sorry, i could just use a refresher. oh, and has anyone played super mario galaxy yet? i just cant stop...

so apparently video game systems are all about movies. funny. thought they were about video games. i guess only nintendo and microsoft think that way now.

wii-60 ftw!

yeah seriously if the ps3 doesnt sell so be it that doesnt mean that Blue Ray will fail

thepwninator

But you fail to remember is that the PS3 is the cheapest Blu-ray player out there.

It doesn't matter if it is or isn't. Non-gaming consumers might see that as negative point because it is "tacked on" to a game system. Regardless of how good it is, non-gamers want a player that fits in with the rest of their setups.

Let's just disregard the fact that blu-ray players/PS3 are still too expensive to become a mainstream product.
