The problem is that Sony pushed their Blu-Ray format, resulting in HD-DVD losing that war. OK, fine. Except now they are also killing the Blu-Ray format with their ridiculously high licensing costs. No-one wants to pay $30 for a movie, and smaller movie-houses can't even afford relaeasing Blu-Ray versions of their movies.
So what is the end result? Consumers are left back at square one, with no viable HD format, and Sony is left with an overpriced console where having Blu-Ray support no longer means anything.
It no longer matters that there may or may not be good games for the PS3. Its Blu-Ray support causes it to be too overpriced.
You can squarely blame Sony for that fiasco.
