Blu-ray outstripping DVD's early performance

Comments

• What a crock. Bluray is far behind DVD in sales. It is only ahead if they count the ps3, and only 46%of ps3 owner use it for a bluray. Most less than once a month.
  "Early adopters are buying fewer high-definition movies than they did in the first years after the introduction of the standard-definition DVD" Bernstein Research analyst Michael Nathanson.
  
  "By March 1997, Toshiba made the first DVD player available for consumers in America, while Sony and other companies followed in the ensuing months. The first full year that DVD was available, almost 1 million players were purchased, with more than 14 million discs sold in the U.S, according to industry association DEG. By 2001 the numbers of players purchased had ballooned to 16.7 million, the number of discs to more than 300 million."
  
  Those numbers are for Stand Alone Players not counting computer or other systems.
  There are close to 16 million bluray players in the wild now, counting (as we mist to understand the BDA spin) the ps3. Where are the 200 million in discs sales? Bluray last bragged about 11 million sold world wide, also counting give aways and rebates.
  No it's no DVD. Don't be a fool repeating talking points, it demeans you and me both.
  
  Remember the Sony company mantra, 'Over-think it, Over-charge for it." Posted by Jason, USA
