As Wii will soon take >50% of video game console market share over two HD consoles, I just can't see how BR can overtake DVD's domination.
People say that BR is outpacing DVD at the same time frame, based on the news that Dark Knight sold 1.7 million units worldwide in the first week, beating Matrix's record of ~1 million when launched in 1999. But no one mentioned that in 1999, when Matrix DVD launched, DVD players had been outselling VCRs by 13 to 1. Also at that time, 60 million DVD movies had been sold, compared to just ~20 million BR discs.
Does anyone have any info about the stand-alone BR players sales compared to DVD players so far?
