Dark Knight pushes PlayStation 3 Blu-Ray sales but PS3 lags behing Xbox and Wii

Blu-Ray may have won the High Definition Video format war but it hasn't been a sweet victory as sales have been disappointing could Batman save the day?

With Xbox 360 (15.5 million) still outselling Sony's PlaySation 3 (9 million) and both lagging behind Nintendo's Wii (20 million) console will The Dark Knight, Batman film push Sony sales?

In November more than 462,500 Blu-Ray discs were sold that's 165% jump from October but sales of PS3s to play Blu-Ray disappoint.

Consumer Blu-Ray players have been heavily discounted to try and boost demand.

The PlayStation 3 was meant to be the entry into Blu-Ray HD players but this hasn't happened. I cannot understand why as our PS3 is used to play Hd content with jaw dropping effect.

So let's hope that Batman has saved more than Gotham City - with the recession on the horizon let's hope it's a great 2009.
