Having a single format is good for consumers and publishers alike. Consumers won't have to pony up for two expensive systems, and publishers can focus their attention on a single format. Also, now that Blue-Ray has won the format war, we'll most likely see a surge of decent titles appearing in stores. This may not be a problem for the lucky americans, but here on the other side of the Blue-Ray divide, selection is sparse, bordering on laughable.
I just recently bought myself a shiny new PS3, a move which was inevitable with titles such as Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Rock Band appearing within the year. The decision to get a PS3 now was also bolstered by the fact that Sony's game catalogue has been shaping up for a while now with games like Assassin's Creed and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. The clincher for me, however, was Blue-Ray's triumph over HD-DVD. My heart does go out to those who invested hundreds of dollars in HD-DVD hardware, but I'm still happy for Sony, as it will only help bolster their gaming platform and ultimately provide consumers with a bigger range of games and Blue-Ray movies.
