For Japan Blu-Ray is the leading format, surprisingly HDTVs have already seen an enormous penetration there as well. For the United States Dark Knight on Blu-Ray accounts for about 20% of sales and more regarding revenue. It a record compared to DVD adoption and a great result this early within its lifecycle. Why bring the PS3 into it? It one of the best Blu-Ray players on the market, great quality, fast loading, great additional HDTV targeted content and services like games and PlayTV (for Europe), etc. Heck, a lot of people didn't even have computers at home in developed countries. So? You don't need a computer enjoy your HDTV setup, actually a Blu-Ray player or PS3 is usually far more comfortable for that. There hasn't been a significant demonstration of a link between HDTV penetration and uptake of Blu-Ray format. LOL, why should one buy a Blu-Ray player without owning a HDTV? |
True. You win the argument.
