Bit premature to start talking any dominance as a gaming console until game sales start to exceed the other console alternatives as a norm... .
GTA IV numbers sold 55% on xbox and 45% on PS3. Not bad seeing xbox had a 16month headstart and can only manage 5% more in sales.
far too many people will make use of the PS3 only for BD/DVD .
Not at all. All of my mates (aged from 18-23, myself included) play soley for games. Heck, I am the only one with it connected to the internet lol
You have to look outside the box, most people who post on the net, spesh here, are obvisously into technology. So a BluRay player would appeal to them and a PS3 is a good choice for one.
So on here, yes, many people may have PS3 soley for BluRay, but that is not the case for all those 14+yr old gamers, or anyone else who is not really that much into tech.
Example..The amount of people I have talked to down the pub (on a random drunken mission lol) have talked about playing COD4 on the PS3, and I'm always like "Oh add me and give me a game sometime" they don't even know what I'm talking about or simply say something along the lines of "*#@* that online geek stuff" lol So I doubt they bought a PS3 for BluRay
