ps. targeted as the mercedes of entertainment.consoles

all according to sony ceo´s, Sir Howard Stringer.

"PS3 is a different audience and it can be whatever it wants – a home server, game device, even a computer," he added.
Stringer praised Nintendo's latest home console, calling it a "a wonderful device," but he believes it "has a different target audience" to the PlayStation 3.
The CEO also stated that sales of Blu-ray DVD movies, the format that forms a central component of the PS3 and is one of the main reasons it demands a high price, is currently enjoying better market penetration that the rival HD-DVD format.
"We are selling 3-to-1 versus hd-dvd.

A 3-1 ratio for sure doesnt sound or look good for hd.dvd and the xbox 360 ad on, granted since it´s just an ad on, microsoft can launch a blue-ray device anytime.
However as the ps3 population continues to grow alongside the standalone blue-ray i´ll have to say that blue-ray seems to have already won over hd-dvd.
