Too soon to tell.

Blu-ray is trailing heavily behind DVD during it's first few years. Still it's doing a little better the Laserdisc in the physical media market.

It's probably doing worse then Laserdisc when you take into account expanded audience of the buisness with more DVDS sold and VOD and other services... but the Industries are really behind blu-ray and putting up a lot of propoganda because they'd like to sell their movies one more time before the switch to VOD. So it's still got a fighting chance.

You don't need broadband for VOD content... just cable.

 

If I had to guess... i'd expect DVD to stay ahead for a few more years... eventually with Blu-ray and VOD splitting the market for a while.

People who really care about HD and having hard copies will go with Blu-ray while most other people will go VOD. Once downloads get fast enough everywhere and they have a storage solution...

Digital Distribution will win in the end. At some places you might have to still go to a store and download what you want onto a Zipdrive type thing though.

 

Do you have a link? I would like to read on that and I take it that's for America and not WW?
