But theyre still selling tvs that have neither HD tuners built in or the resolution to properly sell it.
DVD's will continue on, existing alongside BR for alot longer than what video did with the disc tech. This is because DVD's really gave something unique and different, something BR doesn't seem to be doing.
Now i posted this because i wanted to gauge whether people think the PS3 will affect this estimation (in terms of total BR disc sales), or whether its going to take longer etc?
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
