Well given that every major set of blu-ray price cuts has been preceded by Toshiba HD DVD cuts.......
Of course competition with DVD will have an effect, and of course economies of scale matter, but there is no way to deny that competition with HD DVD has been forcing Blu-Ray prices down.
And this goes to my earlier point, backed up by what LordofthenightKnight was saying in other threads. Blu-ray is NOT mass market yet. Sales will NOT suddenly explode because of the exit of HD DVD, not until Blu-Ray is at mass-market prices. Large economies of scale wont be reached until this point, so competition with HD DVD remains a much greater imperative to lower prices.
At the end of the day, HD DVD's continued existence, at least for a while, is one more reason for a drop in the PS3's price, and that works well for me.
