Again, you seem to be blinded by either your dislike of Blu-ray and/or your love of HD-DVD. Consumers made the choice, not Sony. Just like consumers chose VHS over Sony's Betamax, it's the same for all format wars. It doesn't matter what Sony chose to put out there in the market, without consumer support it would have failed. Like I said, no one had to buy its players or the PS3. They could have bought HD-DVD players and the 360. Yes, some movie studios supported Blu-ray, but HD-DVD had its supporters, too (MS, Intel, Warner, Universal, Paramount). And if Blu-ray had failed, its supporters would have moved over to HD-DVD. However, consumers ultimately backed Blu-ray over HD-DVD. So, really, it's one of those situations where you just need to get used to it. |
As I said I have expended myself on this topic so I will not carry on the discussion any further as it seems pointless. I think I gave some good reasons why the consumer did not make the choice I do not see any argument you are putting forth that suggests that it was the consumer and not the movie publishers who decided this format.
