It's not so strange - There are a million PS3s in the US. Not every PS3 owner is buying Blu-Ray movies. Perhaps 60% according to some sources.
So, that leaves us with some 600.000 blu-ray players vs. some 300.000 tosh+360 drives. And guess what - according to the nielsen numbers Blu-Ray sells 2 to 1!
Nothing strange with the numbers at all. What's in the future is a steady increase in the PS3 install base. 5 million in the US before the year is over wouldn't surprise anyone. But unless something strange happens, Tosh+360 won't sell even a million in that time. Blu-Ray momentum will thus only increase with time.

not sure how you think Tosh+360 cant hit a million by year end since there are already close to 10million 360 owners all they need is the cheapest HD player out there ($199 US and CAD)the 360 HD-DVD player and its much easier to get than PS3 even now. as an added bonus the 360 HD-DVD works nativly with Vista and XP no drivers needed !!! also 3rd party PC software was first to support HD-DVD a lot of BD ripping/backup/playback software isnt even out yet but the HD-DVD software will
not too mention BD's higher product costs adn Sony's higher licensing fee's it really remarkable that BD is still here (guess we can thank the PS3 for that) but even though its gaining momentum now that not to say it will stay that way (movies sales have supassed HD-DVD for first time and so far the only time)
