- The PS/3 games are counted as BD disc sales, inflating the movie disc comparison. This is a complete falsehood, that is categorically denied by Nielsen.

...How is it considered TRUE that the PS/3 "artificially" inflates BD player sales #'s? yes, I bought it to sometimes play games on it (maybe 2-3 times a month), but it was primarily for a BD player (the flexibility of game playing was a bonus) for me. So if my intended purpose was to use it as a movie player (my movie purchases FAR outstrip my game purchases), doesn't that make my contribution to BD sales #'s completely valid (NOT "artificial")?
