No, it's not ludicrous... I have 2 Xboxs... I have had to return them 3 times

This is your entire problem in a nutshell though. First off, yes it's ludicrous. Second, your personal situation does not apply to every other consumer in the universe. Suggesting that we should chop all Xbox sales figures in half just to suit your ego is not reality, sorry. Even doing so wouldn't help Sony as neither company is making a fortune selling the systems in the first place.

You can write books about Bluray but it doesn't change the fact that consumers don't really care about Bluray right now. You do, great, we get it. I like Bluray movies too. The general public is pretty happy with DVD for the time being. That's life, you can't make people do what you want. Bluray adoption is going to be a slow and painful process, it will happen one day but that day will not happen before the PS4 or whatever appears.

Trying to downplay more capacity to create is ignorance plain and simple.

Trying to pretend that capacity is all that matters is pretty ignorant too. You can have all of the capacity in the world but if your drive read speeds are too slow then it's just glorified storage. One of the main reasons for most games to have mandatory installs for caching purposes on the PS3. It's worth noting that the Slim BD drive is actually slower than the other SKU's too which is disappointing considering it wasn't a speed demon to begin with.

Same with the transitions involving 3.5 disks, VHS, Cds, and DVDs.

And each of those transitions took the better part of a DECADE. Assuming Bluray is a sustainable technology and that something better doesn't come along, you've got a long wait ahead of you so you need to have more realistic expectations.

Can you condense your responses a bit? You replied 4 times in a row and the posts are becoming unmanageable to respond to.
