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.

No I understand, I just cant pull number from where they dont exist.  But even despite the US current infrastructure problem, I would guess that the story is not all that different everywhere else. For one reason, DD movies do not have the same advantages the DD music has, portable movies arent a convienence, you cant just start watching a movie while doing something else.  But, Maybe I am wrong.  I have heard that Blu-ray has been doing well in other areas like Europe but no numbers to report.
