I don't see how you can say that every PS3 is not a score for Blu-Ray, I believe all the launch consoles came w/ Talladega Night: The Ballad of Rick Bobby, and lets not forget that every game is on a Blu-ray disc. Recently everyone has been talking about the games for the PS3 but it is a functionally Blu-Ray player, and people will realize this and start buying Blu-Ray movies. As for the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360, first of all add ons have never gone well for consoles, and as far I as I know no one is camping out to get one of those, plus I'm sure that the PS3 sales are killing the HD DVD add on sales.

The reason every PS3 sale is a potential score for Blu-ray is not everyone that buys a PS3 is buying it with movie playback as the primary use, it�s a game machine first and foremost.

On the other hand, everyone that buys the X360 HDDVD add-on is a score since it�s usage intent is obviously clear.

�Recently everyone has been talking about the games for the PS3 but it is a functionally Blu-Ray player, and people will realize this and start buying Blu-Ray movies.�

Time will only tell, it�s still primarily a game machine.

�As for the HD DVD add on for the Xbox 360, first of all add ons have never gone well for consoles, and as far I as I know no one is camping out to get one of those, plus I'm sure that the PS3 sales are killing the HD DVD add on sales.�

Add-on to add features to the game aspect has never worked well in the past, this is something different.

Just like people are camping out to buy a PS3 Blu-ray movie player? Exactly, they camped out to turn a profit or are so delusional that they must be the first to have the latest GAME machine.

If you�re sure, would you mind providing those sales figures for the two? I wasn�t aware that the X360 drive was shipping already.
