You would grab at any straw to make anything not MS or x360 look bad.

The truth is BR sales were up 91% the first half of this year.

Threads like these can be defined by some as ... it doesn't matter.

Wy do people hate news when it's against their agenda. Yes it was up then and is up now. But 66% in the last 6 months. Thats a fact. It's also a fact that marketshare is 4%. Why does that bother you. It's a factual OP. Get over it. If you enjoy it continue to enjoy it.

If BR marketshare was 0.1% I wouldn't give a shit.

It's people that start flame threads like these with bullshit or misplaced "facts" that annoys me. ..well, kind of annoy me.

Even if they change their angle of attack to its percentage share to cover their original intention..

But hey, I am already over it.

 

I haventchanged anything!

I pasted the article. Afterall isn't marketshare the adoption rate of a medium?

Yes, but marketshare doesn't always mean something is successful or unsuccessful, regardless of what it is.

That is the case you are trying to put across isn't it? That BR is a failure because of it's measly 4%. That's clearly your agenda.

Going by your logic the iPhone is a disaster because it has 1% market share of the mobile phone market and nokia with 46% a success.

According to commercial logic the iphone is a success because it takes 20% of the entire mobile phone industry profits.

I am not drifting from the topic merely drawing an analogy.

Likewise BR, DVD and downloadable media. I have no idea of the money each makes but they are all making money so hence currently successful.

You claimed that you don't buy your films on media anymore, good for you. I am sure many do the same thing. I myself am a mixed bag, a bit of downloads and media.

Yet clearly from DVD and BR percentages you are a small minority, even smaller when you consider many of the downloads percentage may also buy media.

Only the future will tell the outcome, and there are no certainties over the next 5-10 years.
