No he doesnt since Blu-ray is out pacing DD.  I posted a link about it in the Blu-ray sales tracking thread in my sig

Yeh, I thought i'd read that in the blu-ray thread.  Figured i'd ask in case they've come across some new info(/or to call them out if they were making things up).

Do the DD figures include streaming ?

I only ask as streaming is insanely popular in Europe and DD is nearly non existant !

It does, but it only covers US

What the hecks the point of that. The US, as we have spoken about before, has a chronic Internet Infrastructure compared to Eurasia.

To limit the study to an area that will unfairly distort the figures seems a little shortsighted.

Or maybe its intentional to misrepresent the scale of the issue.

Thats is very true, the US does have a horrible internet infrastructure. But, all of the numbers in the Blu-ray sales tracking thread are from US only.  So why would those same people then track DD for the rest of the world and then compare them with Blu-ray in the US?

I think you are being a little overdramatic about the tracking of the numbers. 


I think you misunderstand me ?

Given the BluRay figures are for the US only the study is valid. But only in terms of BluRay Vs DD in the states.

Most people will naturally want to expand the results to encompass the entire world. It would be seen as reasonable.

However given the known Infrastrucuture problems in the States and DD/Streamings reliance on said infrastructure the figures if extrapolated worldwide would be almost certainly unreliable.
