The Blu-Ray version of 300 outsold the HD DVD version 2:1. I wonder how much Blu-Ray version of Transformers would've sold if Paramount had stayed neutral. That type of movie caters perfectly to the ps3 demographic. |
2 million ps3s and 400k standalone hd dvd players yet only outsold them 2:1??? And I wonder how much money Paramount may have to invest to get a working blu-ray version of transformers without bugs. Anyways, I got a ps3 now, but I'm not going to buy spiderman. Transformers rock! (Not Michael Bay though). |
Blu-Ray only outsells HD DVD by that much because 70% of ps3 owners don't buy Blu-Ray movies. Why? Because 70% of the ps3 userbase doesn't own an HDTV. As the percentage of HDTV owners rises, so will the percentage of ps3 owners that buy Blu-Ray. |
I'm curious how you would know 70% of people who can adfford a 600$ ps3 cant afford a HDTV too? Where do you get these numbers?? Never mind, I think we all know where :/ |
It is estimated that 30% of US households own an hdtv. Why would that figure not correlate with the ps3 install base? It's also been estimated that around 25-30% of the ps3 install base buys Blu-Ray discs. The numbers are too similar to just be a coincidence.
US Household HD Set Ownership Reaches 30%
Also, I've owned a ps3 since a month after launch, but we're not getting an HDTV until this Chrsitmas. I am living proof of the statistic.
