Gaming systems drive the Format War, not the other way around. This has been proven time and time again by looking at sales data retrospectively.
Other than the PS3 happening to be the cheapest blu-ray player on the market currently, cheap HDDVD units has nothing to do with the PS3's "failure" on the market.
So why are we talking about Blu-Ray camp? If Blu-ray fails to be adopted as the main format, what does this have to do with PS3 sales exactly? If anything Blu-Ray's failure could reduce the overall cost of the PS3 as well, as Sony and its manufacturers liquidate Blu-Ray drives.
