one half of a disc in sales per PS3 sold. I mean WTF. Even a brain dead chimp would scratch it head at that. And HD-DUD is leading in software sales? What software can I go and get on HD-DUD right now. Ken, oh Ken. Its time to put the pipe down buddy. Crack Kills.

Speaking at IFA 2007, HD DVD Promotion Group co-chairman, Ken Graffeo, who is also Universal Studios Home Entertainment vice president for marketing, said that his format is selling seven times as many software titles per hardware unit than the Blu-Ray Disc format, which has been accused of distorting sales since the Sony PlayStation3 is not a 'standalone player' and should be categorised as a games console not a Blu-ray Disc player.

I thought universal was about to go neutral, are the going to fire ken soon?

I guess I'd better stop buying Blu-Ray movies. Ken says my PS3 isn't a Blu-Ray player.

I bought a PS3 so i could watch movies mostly, the gaming part of it is just a bonus, hell it has wireless internet so u can browse has a hard drive to store pictures music what ever u like. a PS3 is what I think is the ultimate media player for people who don't want to have a computer at home!

With that all said, people most likely buy a PS3 cause it is for games for there kids. I would also bet a lot people that bought it for there kids have NO idea of what it is able to really do!

So his statment of him saying the standalone players of HD out selling could very well be true. But he is really not taking into account why buy a standalone player when you can buy a PS3 and have movies, games, and internet all in one!

Do they just sit in an office and make up numbers to throw around? Do they really think the PS3 attach rate is less than 1?

And if their stand alone players have an attach rate of 4 movies, how do they think they can have an attach rate 7 times better than Blu-Ray stand alones?

Do they really think people will pay +/-$1500.00 for an HDTV, and another several hundred dollars for a Blu-Ray player and not purchase a single movie?

Morons.

Wouldn't surprise me to be honest.

Now, the PS3 attach rate with folks where it's >1 to begin with. That'd be mighty fine metric to watch, and prolly be the one to actually observe to resolve the 'game console not a movie system' issue. Harder to track though.
