I'm going on the Logic that the inclusion of Blu-Ray into the PS3 has allowed for Blu-Ray to have way more units in the wild than HD-DVD...big plus for the Blu-Ray format.
On the flipside...Blu-Ray has made an otherwise "sure bet" gaming system, unafordable for most people. $600 is just too much money to spend on a gaming console. This has caused many to stay clear and look elsewhere. When consumers look elswhere...so do game publishers who are choosing the Xbox 360 as a platform more often than not and Sony is loosing more and more exclusives to the 360. Sales in Japan are absolutely abismal while sales in the US have been slow as well.

Yes Sony has saved Blu-Ray while simultaneously destroying the PS3.
