Blu-Ray sales surging in Europe

[Comrade Tovya]

I don't think it's a failure, but I know Sony was hoping for stronger 2008 numbers with HD DVDs demise.

With weaker than expected PS3 sales, and money problems to boot, Sony really needs Blu-ray to take off ASAP.

I'm a Blu-ray supporter myself, but I'm still on the fence on whether or not it will be the next standard. It's just too hard to know really.

I think if they could get the prices on movies down to that of standard DVDs very quickly, then it would wipe out DVD rather quickly. But, if they drag their feet for another year or two, I'm just not confident enough to declare BD the next format.
