Shogmaster, could you stop being so harsh and callm down a little please? It's just my opinion and I can pass without questions like, "are you dense?" to note how stupid and wrong it´s my opinion. With a "no agree" it´s more than enough.
Let me clarify, sorry for not make clear my point. I haven´t say display it´s unimportant. I have said there is lot of people that have no idea what a HDTV is, for example. For them, the only thing is going to count it´s that Xenon just reproduces old fashioned DVDs, when PS3 is going to reproduce them and the new techonology coming from the future brought here with alien technology, Blue-Ray. So, it´s the same, but more.
From a consumer point the "more" and the price is what matters in lot of moments. So they can´t appreciate it on their TVs? they will appreciate it, they will put blue-rays disc on normal TVs and will say that it looks way better than DVDs, and they will tell his friends that it´s a true cinematic experience, that it´s more colorful and defined (what the shop assistant told him) or the joy of not having to change a disc to see the complete trilogy of LOTR. Market work this way sometimes, specially when there is a company like Sony at full force behind it.
Less is bad, more is good. Put clear and easy to understand features that your product has and other not and you will have an advantadge in many cases, specially in a case of direct competence with few products on market, like home consoles, that makes easy to compare.
And please, again, I respect your view and this is just how I see things from an analytical and personal point of view. I have no interest in "which is better" and I just hope every console to be awesome so I can enjoy it. We have no need of having a big discussion about something that only time will clarify.
Right now, I can put a highly detailed 720p (1280x720) WMV9 movie on my SXGA computer screen and enjoy it's full res glory, or via S-Vid out of my vid card, display it on my 480i SD TV set and hardly tell the difference from a normal 480i MPEG2 DVD version. Do you think anyone in their right mind would choose the second option?!? It's all about the fucking display!
