Affecting Your Gaming, Confusing My Reading

An article appeared on the front page of the Missourian today about Sony's new Playstation 3 being pushed back in its release date. I was a little confused by the article because in the middle of it the author talks about what is called a "Blue-ray DVD disk." It ties into the story because Sony is still trying to finalize the copyright on the technology, and that is part of the reason that the release date has been pushed back. I felt that elements of the story that appeared later in the article were more important than the Blue-ray discussion. For instance, the article talks about how the says of Playstation units (be it the original Playstation or the newer Playstation 2) has been a key for Sony being a successful company. They depend heavily on these sales. The article says that "Any setback in the Playstation business could deal a big blow to Sony." I feel that those elements are more important than an in-depth look at the Blue-ray technology, which is what the reporter did in the middle of the story.
