Of course, I expect that number to be incredibly low. I also don't see Xbox One pushing the kind of number that would greatly influence the Bluray market. PS4 may, but then I would imagine most of those people will already have stand alone players. The real reason Bluray sales haven't skyrocketed, like DVD did, is because Bluray is BC with DVD. So, a lot of people are upgrading their player, but keeping their DVDs. Bluray is going to be more of a slow burn that will spread larger and larger with time. |
The reason why it isn't skyrocketing is because the quick turn around from DVD to Blu Ray. When we had VHS we had VHS for around 30 years before DVD's came around. People were more than ready for a change.
DVD's though were just getting started when it was decided to start doing Blu Rays. The problem was people were just switching to DVD.
