companies like Sony, Disney and Fox these companies didnt wake up and just say lets support BD, they invented it and have very much riding on it, much invested in it......there is far much more incentive for these companies who will capitalize on BD's success than there are for the small amount of money they would save producing cheaper HD DVD discs, if thats even the case if and or when HD DVD catches up in software sales for these companies to have to make that decidion. |
Blu-Ray gained most of their studio support by claiming that 10+ Million PS3 systems would be sold to consumers by the end of 2006; at the time this was a very compelling argument being that the PS3 was going to be released in Q2 2006 for $300/$400 and would sell like the PS2 or better. Essentially, the PS3 was supposed to quickly kill off HD-DVD before it became an established alternative. This has not happened and how studios react to this should be interesting. |
oh you must have been in the board meeting huh? Nope prolly not, just some conjecture on your part thinking you can speak as if you were the CEO of Fox, Disney and Lionsgate, right? |
Or how about that it's a completely logical assumption? Everyone -- in pretty much every industry -- expected the PS3 to sell better than it has. We can reasonably assume this includes the people who signed on with Blu-Ray. As such, it's reasonable to assume that they are disappointed and surprised by the relative lack of support the media got from the PS3 console. You don't really need to be in on the board meetings to figure that one out, buddy.
