I don't need hard numbers to corroborate my argument, I've got a memory like a steal trap when it comes to tech! That link does illustrate one of my points perfectly though. Look at DVD players sales in August 1999 and before, then September 1999 and after. HINT: The Matrix DVD hit shelves Sept 21, 1999. When The Matrix was released on DVD, player sales DOUBLED overnight. Impressive.

The holiday season in 1999 was when DVD players started selling in a range where people were willing to pay for them; and the holiday season in 2000 was when the PS2 and the Apex Digital $99 DVD player were released which pushed DVD player sales to a new level.
