Also only 50% of PS3 owners (30% of XBOX owners) know that their console has the capabilty of 1920x1080 video output. In case of gaming NPD Analyst Anita Frazier concludes that fun outweighs HD.

Sony should start to wake up the potential 60%.

Read: 50% of the parents who bought PS3s for their nagging kids don't know that it outputs in HD, is a phenominal Blu-Ray player and can download Internet pr0n.

They shoulda got the kids on the phone.

I really refuse to believe that. People are stupid, but this is to the point of mental retardation.

If they don`t know there is a Blu-ray driver in the PS3 I will say this "Take a look on the funny box the PS3 has ben in, there is a one big Blu-ray logo on and you can also look at the top on the PS3 there is also a Blu-ray logo and final look on the PS3 gamse covers there is also a Blu-ray logo on. Did you get that?

Believe it: (many) people really are that stupid. Hence the car commercials with "Professional driver on closed course, do not attempt" in small print. Or coffee cups from fast food joints that contain the warning "Contents may be hot".
