^ dude what page ? hd is Eu is tiny, Br will smash it this month thanks to PS3 success.

Haven't you fanboys been proclaiming that HDDVD would be dead every month since the PSTriple launched?

Yet it's still around


 Its dead in Japan, Major Australian retailers will only stock BR and geting whooped in USA.


 Because for a format to be successsful it has to do well in every market, just like VCD's

 

WAR BLURAY!

Sony is losing Europe....I don't know if it is a big market or not, but the rest of the world will likely follow Europe's low-cost strategy. Sony needs to do something about this.

 no proof of that.

 and like every other market,  the PS3 launch will drive Br past hddvd.


You don't call multiple publications stating this fact proof?  You are relying on the simplistic analysis of the PS3's inclusion of the blu-ray to stand on...which is ludicrous lol.  Dude, the rest of the world isn't as nice or as rich, and a good portion of it lives on an average of <12,000 a year.  How are they going to be able to afford food, let alone a$600 PS3?  Hus's analysis comes from a brain-dead source, apparantly.



Everyone should know that the spike on Amazon was actually somewhat planned for April 15th (HD-DVD's birthday). Here is a link to the AVS forums for some proof of a mass organization of HD-DVD owners. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=818991 If you look at eproductwars.com Blu-Ray has been leading for quite some time in the past. Just thought I would share. Blu-Ray has been soundly leading in the Nielsen numbers since Jan. by at least 2:1 sometimes as high as 9:2.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

its a fact that Br sales surpassed hddvd every time PS3 launched in a market.

there are nearly a million PS3 in Eu already...

 I cant' say that's credible. I'm not claiming it isn't true. I'm stating it isn't a credible, objective source.  Any source that has money put into either format (so Warners, Paramount, and LG are included for their dual support), isn't a credible source.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
