Where did he get 50%? engadgethd has run a blog on 13% use their machine to watch movies and 40% know it can play movies. So no way 50% watch movies. Even if some new ps3 owners know it can play movies and of those that know have a hdtv to care...better guess is 25%
Since there are 750k HD DVD players and Blu-ray sells twice as many movies, then there has to be 1,500,000 Blu-ray players. If there are 2 million PS3 and only 370k stand-alone players. Then 1,130,000 PS3 must get used as Blu-ray players.
HD-DVD claims to have 750,000 SA players on the market.
Blu-ray will be claiming to have 370,000 SA players on the market.
If blu ray consistently outsells HD-DVD 2 to 1, then it stands to reason that around 1.2 millions PS3's (or 50% sold in NA) are also being used to watch movies.
So the question is, do you trust sales numbers, or do you trust polling numbers?
