One of the reasons PS@ had such great sales in Japan when it was first released was because the cheapest DVD players at that time were upwards of $1000. This caused PS2 to be chosen as an all around device (DVD player + game console) rather than purchasing the expensive DVD player.
PS3 is EASILY going to be the best selling Blu Ray device once it is released.
My only thought is however that BLURAY hasn't yet really penetrated the market. Sure some players are being sold and some disks are available but most people are still too used to just regular DVD's to go out and spend $30 on a Blu Ray disk which is certainly going to drop in price in a year or two (just like the DVD did).
