It's clear the blu ray is not going to take over anytime soon. I predict some new format not yet out will take over probably around 2012 prior to blu ray gaining 50% market share.

Its not that clear,  there has been some talk about starting to phase out DVD production for movies.  Also there really isnt any new format that will be commercially ready by 2012.  Blu-ray will probably have close to 50% marketshare by the end of 2011.

 

End of 2011 isn't anytime soon.

 

And when I say new format around 2012, that is to say it will be released then, not that it will gain wide spread adoption then...

with support from what movie studio's an what consumer electronic manuf. ?

because all of the largest CE companies and even many smaller CE companies that make optical disc player's have decided to produce Blu-Ray,

Digital Downloads are mainly for rental, not to keep and the limit on the bandwidth cap in some areas have already gone through.

so which new format are you going to say is going to be released between now an the near future that all of a sudden the main companies that make DVD's , that make DVD player's that make Movies for those technologies are all of a sudden going to drop the Blu-Ray format over the new format when they already invested billion's into the format that already is a step above DVD.

first it was:

HD DVD

than DVD upscalar's

than Digital Download's

Now Toshiba's has stated all those thing's themselves now what does Toshiba produce?

that's right Blu-Ray

the sooner people face it that its over with and done with the better!

Blu-ray is the winner, and the vast majority of the companies are all on board now.

Couldnt of said it better myself.  No Optical Media is going to take off without full support of all major movie studios.   And I doubt Sony Pictures, one of the biggest in the world, is going to back another optical media option.
