oh, no i realize that, dont get me wrong. With childrenof men, happy feet, matrix presales, smokin aces, HD DVD has been getting its feet under itsealf, but its just not walking or moving fast enough to keep pace with the growing PS3 userbase who will keep buying those BD's when they get the PS3's. This spike merely proves that HD DVD is fighting a losing battle against the slowly growing install base of PS3 users....even if only 10% of people use their PS3's for playback, 300,000 a month mean 30,000 new BD buyers who may go back and buy previous titles as well as new releases.....this growing (while small obviously) userbase is trumping HD DVD's stand alone players and disk sales, HD DVD just isnt growing its userbase fast enough so we will continue to see a few titles sell well that everyone wants and then drop like a rock while BD will be more sustained as its userbase grows, it hink that much is about as close to proven as anything. So, IMO, it will come down to this, HD DVD has an advantage in price in a awar of atrition, they can last longer and not take huge huts financially but Sony has so much invested that i think theyll be able to take a massive hit to see this through and the way they can win is if they can prove the growing userbase and prolonged sales of titles.....companies wil take notice....but regardless of what happens, its going to be slow unless we see studio support shift one way or the other. |
At least post some links to back up your claims. And don't tell me the facts are obvious. They aren't, and they keep changing.
