Done any research? What more research needs to be done than to walk into a Best buy to see a pile of ps3s lying there, and maybe asking an employee how long they've been there? Some of the articles were even written by best buy employees and they took pictures of amusing things they've done with all the boxes of ps3s lying around. I also found articles of people talking about the fact that they aren't being sold online. Spend a few minutes and do some actual research yourself if you want to actually argue something, otherwise you just make yourself sound like a raving fanboy.

I'd say overall sony has pretty steady sales.
Wups, no actual research done here

As far as burn times go for a tripple layer HD-DVD vs a Double layer Blue-ray disk goes. Its a fact if the disks take longer to make they cost more to make and thats a serious issue for anyone trying to make and sell those disks.
Sure it's a fact that taking longer costs more money, but you're assuming triple layer takes noticeably longer. Ever wonder why software, music, and movies you buy off the shelf looks different on the read side than a disc you burn off your own computer? It's because the data is baked into those discs when they're manufactured, rather than afterwards. The time-consuming process of converting digital to microscopic trenches may be longer, but manufacturers only have to do that once to create the blueprints. Afterwards its just a simple task of stamping duplicated layers of those microscopic trenches. You don't honestly think they sit there with thousands dvd burners, converting the same digital data to hardware the whole time, do you?
