Does not help that they stuck a processors there that only was primarily for video use. Making for lower frame rates in affect rendering the Blu-Ray potential as games medium very limited.

That's why there is not much of a step up between PS3 games and Xbox360. Sony where smart they sacrificed the PlayStation games franchise and used it's good name to get Blu-Ray off the ground.

Im sorry but if it had not been for the PS3 HD-DVD would have won i concede that. 2006 Blu-Ray was in no shape to compete with HD-DVD. But rather than letting the format get a full years head start and by that time be well and truly out of the game.

Sony gambled and released Blu-Ray a couple of months after HD-DVD the reason?

Had Sony launched Blu-Ray with the PS3 ppl would have seen the PS3 as nothing more than Sony's big plan to get every one to buy into Blu-Ray and nothing to do with games them self.

It's simple business Sony stand to gain more from Blu-Ray domination than just a games console.
