Doesn't seem like a bad assumption

 

 Not relevent.

VHS was released 20 years before DVD...Whats your point?

How long a format lasts is determined by uptake and profitability of the format, not how long ago it was released...

Your logic is way too simplistic.

That would be why DVD will likely still be outselling Blu-Ray in 5 years time.

 

I can see Blu-Ray outselling DVD if/when it gets near DVD prices. Blu-Ray quality is not a big deal (or even terribly noticeable vs upscaled DVD) for most people, so price is king.

 

 

Another poor comment. Blu Ray holds a major improvement over upscaled dvd. My girlfriend notices straight away and that says it all. People who think upscaled dvd offers HD like pictures are dissallusioned. Whack a copy of Pixars Cars in on Blu Ray and it blows an upscaled dvd version out of the water.
