PSUNews: "It's hard to figure out how so many companies and websites can promote titles that lead people to believe Blu-ray is a dying format, or even that it's already dead. Month after month, Blu-ray sales increase, with months like November where the format outsells DVD completely. In November, there was a 165% increase in Blu-ray movies in Europe alone. On top of this, Blu-ray players outsold DVD players as well, though that includes sales numbers for PS3.

According to a Futuresource press release, "sales of Blu-Ray disc movies are defying the odds and bucking the credit crunch." Jim Bottoms, Managing Director of Corporate Development at Futuresource, said, "The Blu-ray disc format offers an unparalleled home entertainment experience. We fully expect Blu-ray to continue its rapid growth, stimulated by falling prices and even more bundling deals with large screen TVs."


We just so happen to love our PlayStation 3's Blu-ray player and can completely agree with that assessment of entertainment value. It goes without saying that Sony has benefited beyond measure with the success they've achieved by including Blu-ray disc players within each PlayStation 3. It'll be interesting to see how the format fares against DVD in 2009."

Blu-Ray...heh this awesome HD format continues to prove those haters wrong be it regular people to companys like samsung. Awesome-Pop! :D

 

 

Wow, BluRay + PS3 manage to outsell a format that's a decade old and one everyone already owns. Someday it would be nice to see something from the Blu-Ray camp that isn't total number spinning and poorly done propaganda, it's like Sonys PS3 PR campaign all over again. Oh boy!  165% increase during the holidays, either your format was preforming like crap to begin with or you saw an average increase (depending of course upon the item sector your marketing).

The fact that Blu-Ray positives are always based off precentage increases, include PS3 sales or focus on only 1 or the top ten movie releases speaks volumes for just how little poorly Blu-Ray is doing.

 

Althought I suppose the best part is how many people condemn "anti"-Sony threats then crowd in and bend down on both knees to trash like this.
