Whatever, let's The TRUE fight begin :


BR (5% market share ?)

vs

DVD (95%)


FIGHT !!!!!!!!

Dude, when will people learn this isn't a fight?  There is no DVD vs BR.  The whole industry wants another format and is going to push the consumers to adopt it.  DVD and BR will coexist and Sony and the studios will begin the push to encourage people to shift from DVD to BR and along the way buy new TVs, players, etc.

Now, if you're happy with DVD (I essentially am) you'll be able to stay on it for a long time, but make no mistake its days are now as numbered as when the big players decided DVD was the next move after VHS.
