People say that BR is outpacing DVD at the same time frame, based on the news that Dark Knight sold 1.7 million units worldwide in the first week, beating Matrix's record of ~1 million when launched in 1999. But no one mentioned that in 1999, when Matrix DVD launched, DVD players had been outselling VCRs by 13 to 1. Also at that time, 60 million DVD movies had been sold, compared to just ~20 million BR discs. Does anyone have any info about the stand-alone BR players sales compared to DVD players so far? |
from where you get that DVD player were outselling VCR by 13 : 1 and 60 million DVD movies were sold?
Here is the link which i feel is very accurate atleast for DVD players..
it says only total around 12 m DVD players were sold and VCR was outselling DVD players by 7:1 in 1999
