NPD study shows most people buy PS3 as a bluray player

Not that we didnt already know this.
http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=3561

66% LOL!!!

100% buy a 360 to play on it, and it sell more

LOL.
And the Brownies say that the 360 when has no games when all they use it for is for movies.

and another goes on the list

LOL,i just read the comments and many ps3 fanboys are ranting about it being the BEST blue-ray player in the world.Pretty much all blu-ray players do the same thing.

I'm not surprised, considering games sell quite badly on ps3.

Well that further proves the software charts for september.

well i gues thats wat ps3 sorta set out to do as one of its goals to be the spearhead of blu ray sales in the movie distribution market.... guess its done its job well lol the fanboys are making a huge meal about it though

This explains the morons trolling the forums who don't know what they're talking about.

"Ps3 is teh greatest!!"
"Blu ray makes better graphics!!!"
"Ps motion controller isn't a copy paste of the Wiimote!!!"

but but...they got bblluuuueeeeerrrraaaaaaayyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Duh, Isn't this what I've been saying all along. It's one of the factors that go into the "horrible PS3 sales" when in fact most people don't buy it as a gaming console in mind.

Sony seems to advertise Blu-Ray more than its games, thats why.

Yea, but the PS3 Blu-Ray player is top-of-the-line (or at least was at launch), AND it's firmware-upgradeable, which is a feature that a lot of standalone Blu-Ray players don't have. And buying a PS3 is like saying, "Yea, you're getting a Blu-Eay player, but for an extra $100, I'll throw in the ability to play some awesome games (despite how much people hate the PS3 here, it does have a lot of good games) and do some other extra stuff. So, yea, it is a pretty good Blu-Ray player, actually.

LOL,the other say a ps3 fanboy PM me on youtube saying this was all wrong.

Wait, is this study saying 66% watch blu-rays, or that 66% buy it solely for blu-ray?

Doesnt really matter since the study shows that PS3 is driving bluray movie sales yet PS3 game sales are pretty pathetic so that right there should tell you something.

I don't think Blu-ray is to blame for the poor sales. Because when you think about it there are double the amount of 360s as there are PS3s. For most multiplats, the attach rate is pretty similar on both consoles.

Haha, what?! 360 has the the highest attach rate in gaming history. Ps3 is not even relatively close to 360s staggering 8.7 software attach rate. And, Ps3 is about 10 million units behind in worldwide sales. Thus, there isn't double amount of 360s.

Theres only about 7 million more 360s world wide so how is that double? Secondly the attatch rate is quite lower on PS3 and thirdly I didnt blame bluray for poor sales but pointed out thats what alot of PS3 owners are buying instead of games.

About 24 million PS3s were sold. Meaning only 8 million actually bought it for gaming, lol.
