The Demise of HD-DVD and the PS3

With last week’s announcement about Warner Brothers choosing Blu-ray and today’s news that New Line and HBO will do the same, the PS3 is suddenly looking like a much nicer piece of electronics. I’ve gotta say that I thought it was just classic Sony at first – building their own media format (e.g. Betamax, Memory Stick) that no one else would end up using. But now it looks like, for once, Sony might actually be the victor.

The question is, what does this mean for PS3 sales? 2007 was year of the Wii – could 2008 be PS3’s turn? And where does this leave the 360? This might be just the thing Sony needed to prompt consumers to take that jump with their wallets.
