So true. To use PS3 as a model to show how Blue ray is beating up HD DVD is silly considering the fact that the vast majority of households who buy a PS3 are doing so for its primary purpose: VIDEO GAMES!
How about you show us some marketing research that shows the sales of blue ray vs. HD DVD and leave the PS3 out of the equation.
Or... if the PS3 is the only way blue ray sales look good when compared to HD DVD... play fair and include Xbox 360 sales in the figures. After all the Xbox 360 can play HD DVD with the same competency that the PS3 plays blue ray...

When players sold is the criteria, these sites eliminate the PS3 from the totals. When attach rate is the criteria, they include the PS3. It's heads-I-win, tails-you-lose when these sites comment on the PS3.

See my response below:
because you can't quantify what percentage of PS3s are being used to play Blu-ray movies. The attach rates for Standalone players are probably higher than for PS3s but that's just a guestimate/reasonable supposition.
Really, the only thing you can point to is Software sales. Warner's has alluded that Standalone player quantities are important but it would be hard to ignore software sales as well. I wonder if there isn't a big difference in HD DVD attach rates for $98 Toshiba A2s being used as upconverting DVD players and the more expensive HD DVD players ?

Don't forget about rentals. Blockbuster is Blu-ray exclusive.
