No doubt Sony by now expected Blu-ray to be the dominent format by now.


Kinda doubt that since it is a bit unlikely that they would so blindly ignore tech trends.

But the Blu ray is the new movie standard, every movie on pirate bay is ripped from a blu ray !

What I mean is that the tech trends that changed the market is that big hard drives and broadband connections became the norm. I find it hard to believe Sony didn't see that coming.

Saying that blu ray didn't do as well as the DVD is dissapointment, is like saying the good ol' the PS3 is a dissapointment because PS2, when the market is totally alterted and the competition is different.

 

I would say the diplomatic, the bluray is doing well considering...

You may find it hard to believe... but you know.  Sony itself doesn't.  Just look at any of their early blu-ray talking points.

As for the PS3... you don't think Sony see's the PS3 as a dissapointment?

Of course they do.  Their initial expectations for PS3 were far higher then what it is now.   I can gurantee Sony wasn't expecting PS3 to be a net negative profits wise for it's lifespan.


I'm sure they're happy PS3 turned around... but PS3 sure isn't what they thought it would be when they released it.
