now look at this:

for dl-dvd9's

10,000

$ 0.55

$ 5,500.00

Right, and to do BR at that quantity is $1.50 each, dropping to $1.10 at 100K units (at which point, they don't show DVD pricing past 10K). So it takes 10 times the bulk to make a BR-25 equal to 2 DVD-9s for cost. (And, by this point, the cost of BR-50 is double that of BR-25, giving no further savings.) Sure, that might work for a large title's early print runs, but the smaller guys? Atlus MIGHT order 100K of a title, but if they want to order more later? That's when the cost will go up rather significantly, and much faster than DVD, too.

Oh, and that red line that I removed? Thanks for pointing out that my initial choice of 5000 units is a common order.

 

that 5000 order would be more inline with order's for movie, or data back up or for game's software?

the further saving's depends on your order. once again between 2 companies like rovix and pacificdisc

there was a big price markdown between them, take into account that does not include other disc replication companies in japan that offer blu-ray remember this format has been on the market in one shape or form in asia since 2003.

the US just started and so has other companies that have just invested into blu-ray production line's.may have only since 2007-2010. the point being sony is a publisher, and replicates Blu-Ray disc's they get order's for disc's in quantities that these game companies need on a regular basis. yes Sony may not be able to handle everyone's need's but like i stated companies shop arround, and the blu-ray replication  area is getting more competive.
