Sony should quit trying to make new formats.

The first time Sony released a format was the betamax it then failed. Then it produced the Minidisc that also failed. Then it produced the UMD that failed.

Now it’s got the blu-ray disk. Sony has always wanted its format to be used.

Sony in recent years has been failing to compete in Home entertainment against the likes of Panasonic and Samsung. It computer market barely made a profit (plus its batteries exploded). Their music label was the same.

Sony saw the only thing it had that was successful was the Playstation.

The reason the blu-ray player ended up in the PS3 was to try and get its share of everything else back.

If it makes blu-ray the leading format it gets control of the entertainment market again. Its computer line gets Blu-ray burners and that can't hurt.

The problem is its biggest supporter, the gamer takes the biggest hit. They are the early adopter. They pay for something so expensive and its barley needed.

This is just so Sony can boast the biggest share of next-gen media players.
