Again I dont think the adoption of blu ray by both ps3 and the computer industry means anything.
Look at it this way, most computer software still comes on cd so any new storage medium doesnt have to dominate. If there is any arena where two storage mediums can coexist its the computer world.
And the situation sd dvd had with the ps2 is completely different then blu ray. With the ps2 you could hook it up to any old tv and see what everyone was talking about with dvd. That wont happen with the ps3 unless the user has an hdtv. Even then how many people will have a ps3 hooked up to a widescreen tv with composite video cables. Dont forget because sony tries to make money back on the selling of proprietery accessories, the proper hd connections will cost extra and be hard to find.
