Other BR players don't sell well because the PS3 exists. 2009 and 2010 will see steadily increasing adoption, and in 2011 more Blu-Ray dscs will be sold than DVDs. In part because the studios will force it, a la Warner ditching HD-DVD to make sure only Blu-Ray is available by the Christmas season. Thank you, Warner Bros. |
I disagree. This can be seen by the fact that Blu-ray Disc sales are pathetically low at this point compared to DVD.
At the time the Blu-ray assosiation anounced 11 million in sales, DVD had sold well over 80 million in the United States.
2009 and 2010 seeing steady adoption isn't guranteed, they will ditch HD-DVD but the theatres won't be ditching DVD anytime soon. That's what it would take to get most people to jump i think, cause they don't see the value there.
When you take into account economic problems too... you've got to worry.
Entertainment is pretty depression proof, however i gotta think there is an effect that balances it more toward "cheaper" entertainment.
