Adams Media Research estimates that for only the year 2008 3.1 million standalone Blu-Ray players have been sold in the US (beating their forecast).

And the numbers you JUST POSTED show that's very unlikely.  If, for example, that was true, then 3.1 (BR 2008) + 6.5ish = 9.6.  That means you've already hit the percentage of households listed in your chart, and not a single standalone player was purchased prior to 2008.  So, either BDA's presentation is lying, or Adam's Media Research's estimates were wrong.  which are you counting on to be more accurate?

Keep in mind, we have factual (total shipments per sony) and statistically-derived (PS3, per vgc) sales for 2 of the 3 unknowns.  Chances are, a 3rd party estimation of the third isn't going to be as accurate as the official numbers.



Please, PLEASE do NOT feed the trolls.
