Also that they were using PLAYER revenue.

What's the average DVD player cost now... 50 bucks max?

So just to be even they need to sell like... 8 DVD Players for ever PS3 sold?

 

 

 $30-$50 for non-upscaling seems to be the average now.

Let me see if I understand this chart right. They're comparing the "revenue" of Blu-Ray Players (And the PS3) to other devices? Is that correct?

If so shouldn't the DVD cloumn include revenue from all DVD enabled devices then? After all the PS3 is a gaming system as well, so if you're going to count it towards Blu-Ray, you count all devices with DVD playback. That'd include the 360, the PS2, the PS3 (lol), Blu-Ray players (they play DVD's), almost every modern home computer, certain cars that include DVD players with LCD screens.

Well it's Player revenue at that time.  So i screwed up on that one admittidly.  DVD players were kinda pricey.

I think... around 450 when DVD hit mainsteam... so 450 vs 600 isn't that bad.

 

In no way, shape, or form is it player revenue.  It is quite explicitly units shipped.

@MikeB: More evidence against 3M players shipped this year: they explicitly state 10.7 LTD US shipments, including PS3.  There's no way they shipped 3.1M standalones this year.

No it's not look at the bottom of that graph

"BD Player/PS3 value counts households- multiple device households counted once."
