We never claimed they were anything other than shipped numbers, I don't see how anything is 'fishy' about that. Thank you for the source for consumer sells, gavind... do you know what their source is? I've been looking for straight-up to-consumer data for a while (not very hard, mind you) and I'd like to know where these to-consumers numbers came from. Most (all) of the data I can find is to-retailers

Edit: Also, holy crap!  200k consumer player sell-through (first year), 2M disc sell-through?!?! That's still an attach rate of 10!

Edit 2: Oh, wait. I see what they did.  They had consumer sell-through for year one, but just used shipments for years 2-X.  Darn.

What do you mean?

Either way... it still puts DVD ahead of Blu-ray....

even when you don't account for the fact that Blu-ray is swimming in a larger pool since DVD greatly expanded the market.

Blu-ray is still likely to suceed eventually, but people pretending it's an amazing miracle that's outpacing DVD are being downright silly.
