It's been in development since HD-DVD died. That's exactly what I said? Wasn't it.
I don't get this punctuation or idea at all. I never said you said that.
Had HD-DVD won... China wouldn't have done the same thing, even if Sony had offered.
That's because CBHD is HDDVD, sponsored and developed and backed by the same people. Warner, Universal, Toshiba, DVD Forum. If HDDVD won, then CBHD would never be developed, because it basically is HDDVD.
HD-DVD royalties were actually dirt cheap. $12 vs the $30 of Blu-ray.
Had the BR royalties been lower... they wouldn't have done it.
No proof. CBHD IS HDDVD in a different package. HDDVD didn't even make it in China at 12$

If Sony had offered to liscense Blu-ray Technology.
Also CBHD and HD-DVD aren't the same thing.
As for HD-DVD making it in China... you still are under the conclusion that the government decides what will and won't suceed. It doesn't.
It's quite simple actually. The talk of a domestic product was because many chinese buisnesses actually took a loss making DVD players and didn't post profits until recently.
As in... when it was $12 a piece.
This was a clear indication that they wouldn't accept more. Why would they when they were going to take a loss? At $12 they would of been making profit.
