no matter how you want to avoid it, a game consoles that play Blu ray and DVD is worth much more than a DVD player to a lot of people.Your argument about USD 50 for a DVD player versus USD 499 for a SONY PS3 is simply wrong.
My math teacher said it this way: The price of the apple do not matter, when you want to buy and eat a coconut.Similar a DVD player cannot be sold to people, who want a game console.
You also fail to understand how much money SONY made on the PS2.
It gave SONY about 50% of the total company buttom line.
So SONY have a very good reason to stay committed to PS3.Secondly the profit comes via the games companies.
So SONY can sell PS3 at a loss, and still make a profit.
This business model is well known in printers, the profit comes from the ink sales.
However long term Blu ray is not more expensive to build than a DVD. So profits will come from Blu ray player too. That is the reason Panasonic and Samsung make Blu Ray players. They see no profit in making USD 50 DVD players.
When a technology have become a cheap commodity, the big companies will try to force a new format with better profits on the buying public. Small companies get hurt everytime.
Get used to it. It will happen again and again.
