So Blu-Ray sales are actually increasing? Shocking!

Sarcasm aside, if the Blu-Ray association wants to impress me they can show me a graph of the evolution of its market share vs DVD.

If they sold 20 million discs so far in America, that's about three per PS3. Hardly a jaw-dropping statistic considering there are also standalone players.

 

 

Yeah, its difficult to be overly impressed by the 20 Million sales number given that the PS3 has sold over 40 Million pieces of software in the United States since it was launched. Certainly, Blu-Ray is demonstrating that it will survive and may become a dominant format but it won't become that important until 2010 or 2011 (as many of us predicted years ago).
