| Kyros said: Simply not true. Competing standards dont bring down prices. Competing products do. The moment one standard is the winner sales will pick up because customers aren't confused anymore and player and media will get cheaper. Simple economies of scale. The competition will be between panasonic, Sony, cheap Chinese players etc. So a quick death to hddvd would be best for customers |
QFT. This is the most accurate thing anyone has said on this thread. The death of HD-DVD will have a positive effect on the market, and Blu-Ray will not only still have to compete with DVD, it will have to compete with itself. Manufacturers of Blu-Ray players and media are still going to have to try and undercut each other on price.
BD will continue to get in cheaper just as DVD did, even though it never had any competition (excepting VHS).
