WW = Worldwide, meaning no single country matters because for all the consoles sold WORLDWIDE Sony sold more than Microsoft.

Well, at least soon well all reach a single format...

But will the DVD ever truly die? In all truthful-ness, VHS isn't completly dead yet, it's still used by a few people, will the dvd become like the VHS is now?

I'm fairly sure that not al of the movies on DVD will be re-released on Blu-ray, so it will become like VHS where people have their favorite movies and keep watching them. But since every Blu-ray player can play DVD's we won't be seeing an DVD/VHS combo type of players. So hardware wise DVD will die, and eventually so will it's software, but there will always be people with DVD's.

Not to mention 5 more semi-major studies worldwide went Blu-ray exclusive. And another hardware company started making Blu-ray players. Every since Warner switched Sony has been getting all kinds of good news.
