“The demographics between X-Men and PlayStation 3 are a near-perfect match,” said Steve Feldstein, SVP of marketing communications for 20th Century Fox. “This is the biggest new release yet for Blu-ray, and we’re working closely with retailers and others to ensure that when people are buying their PS3s, they’re going to know they can get X-Men to play on it."

“PlayStation is by far the dominant game platform, and this should put questions about format wars to rest.”

Maybe, maybe not.

The PS3 will have a fairly signifigant impact on this, but obviously none of us will know for a while until the sales figures start rolling in.

Having big names titles like Xmen out in time for all this is a no-brainer in terms of smart marketing.

Xmen 3 is one of several marquee titles that are either going to be out or right around the corner in time for the holidays and in collusion with the release of the PS3 and the big boy stand alone players shortly thereafter.

It's all about the content.



What I think one can take away from this for sure is the death of some more HD-DVD fanboy FUD fodder: Fox is not going to be supporting HD-DVD anytime soon, if ever, if rhetoric like this is any indicator.

Yet another rumor that dies a quick death.
