| thismeintiel said: LOL, the haters will always be there. They'll find ways to twist numbers to show how Blu-ray is failing and will be gone in a few years. They'll ignore all the news articles on VGChartz and IGN (and other media sources) that report how Blu-ray is seeing over 100% growth in sales each quarter. Ignore how the sales for The Dark Knight was split almost evenly between DVD and Blu-ray. I just assume most are hurt HD-DVD backers, or fanboys who hate anything Sony. Either way, they should be ignored. Blu-ray is here to stay. |
Just to play devils advocate.
Do you believe that sales of Dark Knight now are currently about half? Or do you think if you looked at the Dark Knight sales for DVD and Blu-ray that DVD would have a substantial advantage.
In general the people who upgrade to a new format are people who are more enthusasitc about movies... and as such are the people who are going to buy them week 1.
In general Blu-ray should take over for DVD. But it is taking a much longer period of time then people expected... and still has a long way to go. When DVD by this timeframe as already dominant.
The question is... will it be caught short... with people wanting their media digitial like they do with songs... also... when will it actually broach the regular market (if it still will.) Rather they just the general moviephiles.
