30% marketshare? After six years? Didn't DVD get a higher marketshare in half that time? I think Blu Ray was a terrible investment. Sony should have just let Toshiba do the HD-DVD thing and saved themselves the trouble of investing and standardizing a new disc format. Besides, a physical successor to DVD isn't really needed. It took so many years for a disc format to finally come along to replace VHS. In the 10 year period between the time when DVD became popular and when digital downloads would become more of a norm, where is there room for Blu Ray in all of this? I think in another few years, Blu Ray will become a useless format outside of gaming, and as we have seen from companies like Nintendo, some are willing to invest in formats of their own. I debated with people about this back when Blu Ray first hit the market. I predicted that it would not be as big as DVD and so far, it seems like I'm right.
