FWIW, Flash memory was popularized by SanDisk's Compact Flash format which launched four years prior (1994) to Sony's Memory Stick (1998). The latter was comparable to BetaMax: pushed hard by Sony but not showing sufficient innovation to sway most consumers to Sony's more expensive product over continued use of the existing, more compatible format.

PS3 was probably the most expensive blu-ray player and the bulk of the people buying them still had CRTs or 720p screens. $799 at costco with few options to copy the discs. The games were upscaled and by the time it got traction the PCs issues were mostly corrected. Maybe it got cheap near the end but it was still shit along with the 360.

And it was a relatively open media center too! You could easily play all the movies you had digital copies of on it...the PS4 on the other hand is locked down harder than a jew's gold

Had a Sony digital camera, I hated the memory sticks.
