European PS3 launch gave Blu-ray sales 1000% boost |
Ó
Recent studies say that consoles don't really contribute to sales of movies in high-def format, but here's what Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Executive Vice President - International Matt Brown had to say: The launch of the PS3 had a tremendous impact on Blu-ray software sales across the board. Recent sales figures are a clear indication that the PS3 is seen as an entertainment device.
Figures announced by Sony Pictures, as reported by Tech Digest, strongly support the statement. According to the announcement, 180,000 Blu-ray discs have been sold in Europe after experiencing a 1000% increase in sales since PS3's launch back in March.
"Casino Royale" got special mention for being one of the biggest titles. Combining 500,000 copies given away to PS3 owners and the actual number of copies sold easily makes it the most widely distributed Blu-ray film to date.
Sony Pictures added that more than 50% of Blu-ray titles in the UK, France, and Spain are tagged with the Sony Pictures brand. Looks like those guys investigating the dirty tactics Sony use on Hollywood studios would have to double-check.

I have more movies then games........Oh well.....PS3 FTW.
winks at Common Sense
My 360 keeps breaking down + no Blu ray, time to buy a PS3 and throw this rubbish 360 in the bin.
thats not common sense lol its unregistered. Besides mr.common sense would bash the ps3/sony no matter what. He'd probably say that sony included the giveaway copies of casino royale when sony didnt and this is based on sales.
yeah i have 13 bluray movies and they all rock! wooooooooo!
My Xbox just died 2 hours after I posted the first comment. Damn you MicroSux!
lol yea i have like 5 blu-ray movies and 2 games and ive had my ps3 since january 3rd, blu-ray movies are good but we need more good games!

why did you add your personal hate to sony in the article? and since you seemed to hate sony, why did you post such article in the first place?
Has it ever occurred to you that he didnt feel like logining in you idiot. SO as far as im concerned its him.
Aww it seems sony isnt doing as back as everyone thinks. Besides 5.6 million is alot for a so called failure as some thinks :winks: at shatterdome and common sense. Just give it 3 more months and watch the sales go up.
fondles Mr. Common Sense's balls
You and Mr common sence, o wait lets not forget xman, can all go F^CK yourselves.
I winked at ur mom before me and her got it on.
No, my XBOX is still fine. I have total confidence.
I'm curious to see how that investigation is doing. Not that it will matter. What could they do? Make everyone give back 500,000 casino royale movies? If you can play dirty and win why not? Great job sony, everyone supports your scandalous acts.
Wow! you have all the games! Now sony orders you to buy as many blu gay movies as you can.
yes!!! Xbox + Wii sux ass
Please read this, you will be excited. When you click this link, http://000url.com/money you will go to a website that will show you how to sign up for another website that pays you 2 - 45$ (PER) to do surveys, sign up for trial offers, and test products.
Companies such as ebay pay CC to have people try their offers, and when you complete an offer, CC simply passes the money onto you. By spending an average of 3-4 hours a week on cascrate,
I have made 472$ in May, 412$ in June, and 271$ (SO FAR) in July. You get paid in real checks from "***** MEDIA" every month that you earn 10 dollars or more. It may seem too good to be true,
but I assure you it IS true. Also, with their referral program, you can refer people by sending them your link (you get when you sign up) and for every buck they earn, you get 20 cents also! (Think how much money you can make if you have 100 people making five bucks a day)
You do not have to enter your credit card or social security number. Nothing Harmful can come from CC. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE 18 OR OLDER, I AM 15 YEARS OLD AND REFERRING PEOPLE, AND I MAKE THIS MUCH MONEY A MONTH
JUST SPENDING A COUPLE MINUTES A DAY ON THE COMPUTER! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR READING THIS.
Think it's a scam? Read this(from the website) "We assure you that this is not a scam! Companies need consumers to try and review products, services, and websites and are willing to pay money to have them do so.
Most of the time you're asked to do this without any compensation, what we do is take the money companies give us for YOUR participation, and give you back up to 75% of it!"
There are alot of websites like this, I have tried almost all of them and this really is the best, and legit one.In addition there is a new UK section opened with more then $200 worth of free offers!
