The studio's know the market intergration of HD. These companies are not going to base who is a victor off of who does not have an HDTV. Situations are relative but I am shocked to still hear this.
Betamax and blu ray are polar opposites. Blu ray has more in line with VHS in terms of support, licensing, runtime/space and overall goal. At the CES of this year, it was claimed that an average of 6 br movies were sold per PS3 owner. I highly doubt that many movies are because of coupons and the growing attach ratio is not in line with the opinion that this is a phase.
I find it fascinating to see people assume that they have a better grasp of the situation than these billion dollar companies................... that have been around longer than most of us have lived.
And your grasp is so much superior? I am sure most of these companies thought that PS3s would be flying of the shelves when they signed on to BluRay. And these ever knowing companies never ever make hundreds of millions of dollars flop movies because they know their audiences so well...
You can have your opinions and I'll have mine - I say they both flop. It is too soon.
