Believing Blu-ray will succeed doesn't make sense!!!?

Those of you who have voiced an anti-Blu-ray stance have been consistant in one thing = SUBJECTIVITY.  Just accept the fact that Blu-rays give the consumer another choice, and that choice doesn't have to be the dominante format.  As long as Blu-ray is a worthy business venture, both provider and end-user will benefit.  No one is forcing anyone to do or buy anything the end-user doesn't want, and choice has proven that Blu-ray is a viable option.  Nothing wrong with that.

Actually, I think that's what a lot of the people here are trying to say. Blu-ray is a format that has appeal and a market, but a lot of us just don't ever seeing becoming the sole standard the way DVD did. DVD will continue to have a major presence and Digital distribution is finding it's way as well.

 

 

What you are saying in itself I'm agreeing most with, but what I have a problem with is the negative misconception some are trying to push.  Some are trying push that just because Blu-ray drops in sales and/or it doesn't become the dominant/mainstream option that somehow it was a bad venture all around for everyone.  A lot here are agreeing with me (mostly Blu-ray supporter).  But the anti-Blu-ray supporters are the ones I'm referring to.  They are voicing their opinion as to why Blu-ray isn't worth it to them which I can respect, but they try to pass it off as fact as if it applied to everyone else.  And that implies that everyone who are enjoying Blu-ray made a mistake and needs some sort of justification which isn't true.  That's what I have a problem with...
