In Reply to: SONY PS3 sold 392,519 units last week in the world, total is now 7,132,808 players posted by Ole Lund Christensen on December 13, 2007 at 00:29:54:
According to the link you posted... total cumulative sales of the PS3 from 11/12/06 to 12/9/07 equal 7,194,575.
Xbox 360 cumulative sales from 11/12/06 to 12/9/07:
14,558,327.
That's over twice as many Xbox 360s sold compared to the PS3 in the same amount of time.
I think this illustrates why you cannot use PS3 sales to cheerlead the Blue Ray format. If the fact that The Blue ray playing PS3 has sold 7 million units is the basis for concluding that Blue ray is gaining ground... then the 14 Million HD-DVD playing Xbox 360s sold in the same time period should throw Blue ray back to last place.
FWIW... I am not advocating HD DVD over Blue Ray. Personally I am waiting on the sidelines to see which format wins. I look at this as nothing more than the digital ages' "Betamax vs. VHS" Remember... Beta, while the superior format in both sound and video... failed. Who made Betamax? Sony.
Just something to think about.
