Yep, I have 2 friends at work that are both planning on Buying the PS3 as their Blu-ray player, and neither are gamers.
HD DVD fans will be happy to know that the one planning on getting both formats has already bought many HD DVDs and so is supporting your Cause :)
The PS3 is a good player because it has the ability to be upgraded and support BDlive when that finally comes online.
So not counting the PS3s is definately just giving the HD DVD false hope IMO as there are likely a large percentage of PS3 users buying it as a standalone player for Blu-ray.
As to Disc sales, keep in mind, HD DVD players by Toshiba have 5 Free HD DVDs attached to the sale, so when you consider that, Blu-ray is really outselling in the Disc area.

Nobody is counting the free discs as sales, since they aren't "sold."
