5.5 Million, 25.1 Million and 98 Million.

=============================================================

First two are very similar to what BR has done. However, jump to ~100m next year would be huge for BR.

you seem to misunderstand.

DVDs "First year" corresponds to Blu-rays 2006.

They released at about the same time.

That 5.5 Million is up against the 360K.

Also once again... not countin the fact that in terms of disc market share... more movies are being bought now... then they were when DVD was starting out.

 

 

That's intersting - so BR is one year or so behind in disc adoption? What were the DVD player sales back then, were they huge, or was the attachment ratio much higher?

 

First year DVD was approx 300k, 2nd year approx 1M, 3rd year approx 4 million (US only)

 

 

That would mean attachment ratio was huge - 18 for every DVD plyaer or so. Something's not right here...

 

People replaced their VHS collections with DVDs.  People aren't so into doing that for BR because there are not as many immediate tangible benefits.

Edit: Also, these are shipments only in all cases.  That could skew it as well.
