Comparing LD to BR is ridiculous. Laser Disc never came close to having the market share that BR does now, and BR's market share just keeps increasing over time. BR adoption has so far been faster than DVD adoption, even. Anyone who thinks there is anything significantly different from BR's position today and DVD's ten years ago doesn't remember 1999 very well, and anyone who thinks there is even remotely similar trends between LD and BR is completely clueless.

My original point in bringing up Laser Disc was not to use is as an example against Blu-Ray (that would be ludicrous). The point I am arguing is that video and audiophiles do not determine the course of format wars any more than they do console wars.
