I do want to include the PS3 as a BR player in the #'s of h/w sold, but damnit...I just cant anymore. Not enough indepth criterea number crunching to support that so far.

Ganthc, dont use me as an example of your memory on these things either. I flip and flop like a fish out of water. Okay?



Am I on topic damnit!??
Then if you can't get an accurate reading off of total # of players, the real gauge on performance has to be software. At this point, and with the recent price drop, the ps3 still remains the best bd player out there. The fact that it's not counted because it's hard to say what it's used for basically skews the numbers when you look at only standalone players...which is probably the purpose anyways.

But you don't skew software sales. They are what they are, a true indicator of how well a format is performing.
