Sony are certainly smarter than most people give them credit for.

Yes sometimes on this board I feel people think SONY is some sort of an infant that doesn't know what to do or how to make decisions..

their actually VERY smart & Shrewd....needed for a business...

I posted a story on this a few days ago, and mark my words I will never buy a brand new Blu-ray player because thats just shady business. Interestingly Toshiba just released the latest MSRP of 149 on their A3 player, meaning you may very well start seeing this player mass marketed at $99 at the big stores like Wal-mart and Best Buy. There still selling well despite the Warner announcement. I wouldn't be surprised if by the middle of the year or so you might see some of them Blu exclusive studios take note to how many players are selling at that low price. I wouldn't be one bit surprised if this format war is far from over.

Like I said in your original thread, they didn't raise the price. It was put on sale for $299 right before Christmas, and the price went back up after Christmas, BEFORE the Warner announcement. The MSRP has stayed the same the entire time.

Also, may I please have some proof of your comment I bolded? There's a reason Toshiba's players have dropped so low in price, and it's not because they're selling well.

 

Might have jumped the gun, but here are nielsons latest weekly numbers as far as movies sold

 

1. Pirates: DMC 100.00
2. Pirates: CBP 84.63
3. Apocolypto 82.92
4. Planet Earth (HD) 41.26
5. Letters from Iwo Jima (BD) 33.23
6. Ultimate Matrix 30.19
7. Planet Earth (BD) 28.97
8. Complete Matrix 28.21
9. Letters from Iwo Jima (HD) 27.48

10. Casino Royale 24.30

 

Not bad for a defunct format eh.

 


 


WTF? Those numbers are from several months ago.


I was wondering why a movie that came out May 22nd was #5 on the charts.



As in go buy us some coffee.

Big LOL. Do you have a link? First, the Nielson's are released on Fridays. Second, all those movies were released in May 2007. If they were recent numbers Pirates 3 and the Bourne Ultimatum, not Pirates 1/2 nor the Matirx, would be at the top of the list.

So let's go through another chain here: Sony music division drives sales of Sony Video Games division (through Singstar). Sony Video Games division drives sales of Sony movies division (through Blu Ray). All three of these, in consequence, drive sales of Sony's High Definition Bravia Televisions, as people with new HD video game systems and movie players want an HD television to go with it. Just think of how effectively these different divisions help each other.

 

 

There are a lot of non sony record label artists on Singstar.... Universal, EMI, Warner Bros. In fact of all the big four, on singstar rocks at least, Sony BMG has the smallest number of artists. I dunno how it is over the rest of the series as I don't have the record label info on hand at the moment.

Lets not forget about the Sony Audio division with all the speakers and amplifiers :) 

 



Yes
