Exactly. Why would an intelligent person (which a VP should be) think that Blu-ray getting to a point of outselling HD DVD 2:1 for software with only 40% (or a figure like that) of PS3 owners knowing about the Blu-ray movie playing capability by worse than if all the PS3 owners knew it and the software lead was the same? A lower number of PS3 owners knowing about the capability and still getting to the 2:1 software point would be a positive for Blu-ray, not a negative. Educating many of those people wouldn't be all that hard. But I'm also skeptical of claims that 60% of PS3 owners don't know about the Blu-ray movie playing part. Too bad really, as it would be good news for Blu-ray if only 40% know about it and half those who know about it use it.
