It's almost twice more than all exclusive support for HD-DVD (Universal + Weinstein) I will repeat once again the biggest titles of this year comes from BR camp - Spider-Man 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3, only Harry Potter is multi platform. Situation is very similar to the game market - few hardcore collectors mean not so much against a multitude of casuales. BTW I believe you can find also a lot of collectors among owners of BR-players so this argument is pretty lousy. Hardware sales is interesting for hardware manufacturers. Studios care about sale of movies. You can find a list of bestsellers in this thread. |
I think you missed my point ...
Currently sales of Blu-Ray enabled PS3 systems is at least half of what Sony would have been projecting when they were approaching movie studios; the number could be less than quarter if you assume Sony was projecting from their earlier Q2 2006 launch date. By the end of 2007 the number of Blu-Ray players that actually have sold could be in the 10%-20% range of what was projected.
If HD-DVD is still selling at 1/2 to 2/3 the sales rate of Blu-Ray there will be studios who are currently exclusively producing products for Blu-Ray that start producing HD-DVD versions of the same movies.
