    HD DVD leads Blu-ray in Europe

    From this IMHO you can safely say:
    Without the Playstation 3 to help it, Blu-Ray would have fallen flat on its face.
    In America where people have PS3's and Blu-Ray is outselling HD-DVD 2-1 the Playstation 3 appears to be responsible for that.
    Looks like Sony can do some things right. I expect Blu Ray will overtake HD-DVD in Europe a few months after the PS3 launch.
    Of course, I still secretly hope it falls flat on its face, purely becuase I hate Sony as a company.

    I've heard the Playstation 3 has been around the block so many times, she even Blu-Ray!
