"So not counting the PS3s is definately just giving the HD DVD false hope IMO as there are likely a large percentage of PS3 users buying it as a standalone player for Blu-ray."

Over 3 million PS3s have sold, and the BDA recently announced they sold 1 million movies. Presumably people who bought movies for their PS3s have bought more than one so that's less than a third of PS3s being used as Blu-ray players.

dude you can't be more wrong. Here are the current sales

japan as of april 15 is 837,849
(less then 12K were sold that week)

in the US as of the march NPD numbers 1,194,000

(it was outsold by the GBA haha sorry that is funny)

and the PS3 just came out last month and they don't have number but there is no way that have sold over a million yet i'll be nice and say 500K sold in europe and australia

which bring the total to about 2.5M at the very most not over 3M

but if it was over 3M that would make it sound worse that blu-ray sold it's 1M disc so late and give it a ratio of liek 1 movie for every 3 ps3's not to mention even worse ratio when you include the players and PC drives.
