@zeromous, @dazer, I agree with both post, in that PS3 is not doing as bad as it seemed like (during 2007 Feb - May period). I certainly hope that PS3 can became a clear #2 console worldwide, with significant difference with X360 WW sales (I'm not sure whether it is logical to hope for PS3 to became #1 at the moment, since Wii is still going strong in all region).
I don't think HD penetration will increase significantly in the next 3-5 years, especially the one that fully support 1080p and HDMI 1.2 (IIRC). One of the reason I haven't purchased PS3 yet, is because I don't have HDTV (and HDMI), and I feel that it is useless to buy PS3 without fully utilizing it's HD potential. As one of the early adopter of DVD (because I see a very big jump on video quality and capabilities of VCD compared to DVD), I somehow didn't feel the urge to jump into HD-DVD or Blu-ray, because the difference has to be enjoyed on HDTV (and I currently don't have HDTV), unlike DVD, which can be enjoyed on standard TV (with component cable support).
About LBP sales, I don't have any idea how it will work, so I stay away from it. :( I haven't see any analyze that is convincing enough (to me) to rely on.
