PS3 sales sure are helping out ALOT. Almost makes those graphs worthless.

 

Yep, that's the issue. Since probably about 2/3 of the graph is PS3's the graph is almost useless. I want to see a graph that shows the sales of the actual discs. Cause we don't really know how many people are using the PS3 as a BD player, it is after all the successor to the most successful game console ever.

 

Well we sort of figured out it based on a report of DVD Revenue down and blu ray Revenue up in 08'   This is what was figured out in that thread

Do those 10 million include PS3s?

$14.5 billion in DVD sales.
$.75 billion in BR sales.

14.5 + .750 = 15.25 billion

95.08% = DVD sales

4.92% = BR sales

 

while that is nice figures breakdown for companies it doesn't show the percentage of DVD's vs. Blu Rays sales but instead the ratio of the sales revenue

 

Like say average DVD cost is $12 and Blu Ray is $25.  (no idea, just threw out numbers)  Then you can see that

14.5 billion DVD revenue =  1.21 billion DVD's sold

.75 billion Blu Ray revenue =  30 million Blu Ray's sold

 

97.58% DVD's

2.42% Blu Ray

 

So if 200 movies are bought.  195 of them are on DVD and 5 are on Blu Ray.
