Blu Ray is not doing well here in Southern England

Local Supermarket⁽⁴⁾ started selling Blu last year⁽³⁾ and gave a 2m x 3m wall to the product along with a cardboard cut out announcing Blu Ray and explaining it via leaflets.

I have watched the space slowly get taken over by the Wii and its peripherals and now its just a single row 1m long. Seriously they only have like 5 Blu Ray films on offer at any given time.

Not surprising when Sex and The City (one of the Blu Ray films on offer) is right next to its DVD couterpart.

Blu Ray 19.99 GBP
DVD 11.99 GBP⁽¹⁾

No one in their right minds is going to pay almost twice as much for the Blu Ray.⁽²⁾

Are They ?

First:

11.99 x 2 = 23.98 - 19.99 = 3.99

Second:

Blu-ray Market Share in US up to 13% Over Previous Week

Third:

Last year was when it was Blu-ray vs HD-DVD of course you are going to make it IN YOUR FACE then.

Fourth:

Your local store does not represent the entire world.

First - I did say almost twice. Would you prefer close to double or signifigantly more than ?

Second - I was talking Anecdotally about my local Supermarket in BUCKS not the US

Third - I was merely making a point about the encroachment of the Wii into Blu Ray sales space

Fourth - I never claimed it did, nor would I.

I was only making the point as at least in my local supermarket the Blu Ray domination appears to be in full scale retreat.

There could be a multitude of reasons for this, low sales, future move to another area of store, the list would be infinite.

It wasnt an attack it was an observation.

 

You do realize your first post started out with "Blu Ray is not doing well here in Southern England"

Seems to me like an obvious case of generalization using one store to represent a whole region. Don't be a sour loser just because someone caught your mistakes.
