$60M sounds like a really big number, but how does that compare to DVD sales $$? Any numbers for that?

DVD penetration is enormous, like was VHS penetration enormous when DVD was introduced. DVD related sales are however slowing, Blu-Ray related sales are seeing huge gains.

So it's more interesting to compare equal time frames and currently Blu-Ray adoption outpaces DVD adoption taking equal time frames. As HDTV penetration increases, so will the interest in Blu-Ray and the PS3 grow.

 

 

That doesn't actually answer the question though, does it? Why bring the PS3 into it?

We're in a different "age" now than when DVD was introduced some 10 years ago...

Heck, a lot of people didn't even have computers at home in developed countries.

There hasn't been a significant demonstration of a link between HDTV penetration and uptake of Blu-Ray format, Blu-Ray should be doing far better than it is. Your arugment is not only pointless (literally, you aren't making a point at all) You are providing no info yet making assertions that should be a given - hence, there is no "point".

Better luck next time.
