Sony PS3 Blu-ray drive ‘gamble’ paying off?

I dunno if it Sony ever doubted that Blu-ray would win but it appears their big gamble of sticking expensive Blu-ray drives into PS3s is starting to win out in terms of market share with news that the PS3 is apparently outselling the XBox 360 and other news that Toshiba are giving up on the competing HD DVD format, perhaps driven by news that the largest retailer in the world has opted to back Blu-ray

I don’t really have much interest in either console right now (I own a Wii) but it’s interesting nonetheless how the PS3 seems to be rising from the ashes of burnout on launch. Talk about betting the farm!
