One thing I have been saying for awhile, and it should be interesting to see what happens, is that 2008 really is HD-DVD's opportunity to make up for lost ground. Through 2008 HD-DVD should have a dramatic price advantage and if they can convince enough people who already own a HDTV, or are buying a $500 to $1000 HDTV, to pick up a $100 to $200 HD-DVD player they could potentially tie Blu-Ray or take the lead in sales.

Even if HD-DVD can't tie or lead, if the total sales stay in the 60-40 range HD-DVD will not die and we will be heading towards a dual format world; most of us won't care which format a movie is released upon because we will buy a $99 dual format player.

 60:40 = tdual format? are you insane? the company that controls 51% of the market is leader. 

 

Also Blu-ray payers are getting a price cut too. The Samsung one is now $299

Is this just the US ratios? As in the EU Blu-ray is more in the ratio of 75/25 as far as i have been shown!



@ssj12

True, majority means market leader.
But if that were the case, we would not havef this site because we would only have Sony's PS3.

Remember, the PS2 sold more than two-thirds of the home consoles last generation.

If the numbers remain relatively close, there will be two formats. In that case, the real winner is Standard DVD since most people will just upscale.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

 different markets handle market share differently. You dont see Target going out of business due to Walmart.
