Blu-ray may have won the next-generation DVD format war over rival HD-DVD, but the format wouldn't have got very far were in not for the PlayStation 3 propping-up drive sales.

That's the word from TG Daily, who reckon that the PS3 continues to be the biggest factor behind Blu-ray's emerging success.

The new report reveals that Microsoft also managed to sell 316,000 HD-DVD drives for the 360, before Sony were victorious, while video game revenues continue to close in on home 'video' sales.

Finally, we're told that the average consumer now spends 310 USD per year on game and video goodies - presumably in North America.

So there you have it.
