Just wondering how many of you bought a PS3 to watch blu-ray movies on...
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I primarily got it for the Blu Ray player, but I picked up Time Crisis 4 (best game released in a long time), Ridge Racer 7 and Uncharted and had fun with those.
When its not being used for Blu Rays or games its folding proteins.
I'm guessing more than half of the 19 million who bought it did so for the games not the Bloo-Ray. That's why I bought it.Floppy_Jim
I was hoping people bought it to play games on it, but lemmings try to convince me other wise with teh sales.

I'd say that a few million were certainly sold only because of Blu-Ray. But only a minority of the overall 19 million.Stupid poll. Considering I never once watched a Blu-Ray movie on my PS3 (I've watched a few DVDs, but I guess that's not part of this topic), choice two is out, and the fact that I don't agree that it's only a gaming console and NOT a Blu-Ray player, choice three is out, and now I'm only left with choice one... Which I'm sure you already know my answer...
And I suppose that answers your question.
Look at the sales of their biggest 2008 exclusives, people must be using them for something, they're certainly not playing games on the thing. Poor Sony.speedsixPoor Sony? yea I bet they are bummed people who don't play video games are buying their console too.

Poor Sony.Brainkiller05Poor Sony? yea I bet they are bummed people who don't play video games are buying their console too. When they lose money on the system hoping to recoup the cost in software, it is a bummer for Sony. When you lose money n the hardware, you do so hoping to make the money back up in software. Most systems release into this situation. So a system that sells well without the software sales to go with it, its a negative for the company.

You do realise all the money is in the games right?

But judging by this poll so far, when people get their PS3s, they buy games, which is where Sony makes profit.

Brain fart, but I'll accept the ownage nonetheless.it's not ownage, it's not like you're forced to know something like that

except only 22 people voted in the poll and we are in a videogame forum. What did you expect? Do you need more proof other than the fact that the last time the PS3 actually created any proffit was during Q4 2007? in other words during christmas? every other quarter the PS3 lost moneyThis.

It's not that I didn't know, it simply didn't register when I posted it. Classic think before you post moment.[QUOTE="Nerd_Man"]Stupid poll.

Uhm no. It means you didn't have enough choices to fit everybody, like me. None of your poll choices fitted me, but I made a post to answer your main question.

I'm pretty sure people buying PS3s is better than people not buying PS3s, sure they wont make a profit but it's better than it sitting on a store shelf.
Oh and also, the people who bought it only for blu-ray are purchasing blu-rays.

as long as you loose money per console sold this isn't good enough (or at all really)[QUOTE="Afro_Samurai1"][QUOTE="st1ka"] except only 22 people voted in the poll and we are in a videogame forum.

[QUOTE="Afro_Samurai1"]that's like saying to you're parents "I got a D, but hey look on the bright side, it could have been an F"Like a user said before it is better than laying on the shelf,st1ka
go out and buy one do it for Sony.yeah.... i don't think soAfro_Samurai1
hey a d is better than a f and it depends On what kinda parent we are talking to and what they had to drink.
people shoudn't talk or worry about what they don't have in your case a ps3
[QUOTE="Afro_Samurai1"][QUOTE="st1ka"] yeah.... i don't think sost1ka
hey a d is better than a f and it depends On what kinda parent we are talking to and what they had to drink.
well, i don't drink on the job
And you don't have a ps3 they cancel each other out :D.

Coulda done better with the analogy :P And the PS3 is used to play games moreso than watch movies, at least that's the case with me.
it's exactly because i don't drink on the job that i'm going to buy your "D" [QUOTE="blazndragon0"][QUOTE="st1ka"][QUOTE="Afro_Samurai1"]that's like saying to you're parents "I got a D, but hey look on the bright side, it could have been an F"Like a user said before it is better than laying on the shelf,Afro_Samurai1
