Sony may have made yet another bad decision though I doubt Mark Russinovich will be writing it up… It has decided not to assist the porn industry with getting their movies put on Blu-Ray. Anyone who watches the media industry knows that the porn industry drives media. You want to know where media is going in general, look to the porn industry, they are the first to incorporate new media formats in any big way. This in turn drives what many people buy because that is something they want access to. A lot of folks don’t like to admit this is the fact as it doesn’t play into the “vocalized” beliefs etc of the country but the proof is in the pudding and has been for a long time, go back and look at the VHS versus Beta war… A good portion of that was lost due to Porn being readily available on VHS.

If Sony can get on track with the PS3 then they will still have a good chance. They have really done a bad job so far and have a lot of catching up to do against the xbox360 and even the Wii but time will tell.
I’ll probably have a blue-ray player first because I’ll eventually get a PS3.
I predicted this would happen when the BluRay – HD/DVD wars started. I told my son (who has been following the HD wars from day 1) about how the general video industry would follow the porn industry as history has a tendency to repeat itself.
Personally I was hoping HD/DVD would win just so I wouldn’t have to give Sony any money.
