The sooner hddvd dies, the sooner Br takes over and offsets some of PS3 price (thats its a cause of).
Its an audacious claim by Sony.... How credible is that?
quite seeing is how hddvd aint even sold in many stores over there.
http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=251 heres their official statement.
6000 units = 1% (?) of the movie market. Its also selling at the huge rate of 60 movies / day - across a market of 25million.
Its not surprising at all. Most retailers (including all of the big ones such as JB HiFi) are not selling or stocking HD-DVD movies (I have never seen one here in fact).
The Australian market is so small, this is completely irrelevant. It will only become relevant when CHEAP (i.e. sub $200 HD players) are released.
Australia, BTW, has one of the highest ratios of downloading/copying pirate movies from the Internet.
About 40k PS3's have been sold here since launch (approx). So almost 1 in 10 PS3 owners buys a BluRay movie?

yes everything you said is true but think about it. It maybe a small market there but its still a section of the market that can help more then hurt to have control of. Sony according to the latest neilson numbers controls 59% of the HD Disc market which means the more sales they receive the more market they can gain. If more then 1/5 PS3 owners started to buy more discs in Australia wouldnt that help their overall numbers? of course.
I don't think HD-DVD really exists much outside of the US anyway. Which if you think about it makes you wonder how anyone thought it would ever beat Blu-Ray world-wide. Kinda like the 360 actually. :P
Can we move this to off topis where it belongs.
This is not Playstation News
XBOX LIVE Gamertag: QuantumTarntno
Crackdown - Enchanted Arms - Oblivion - Samurai Warriors 2 - GRAW - GRAW2 -Lost Planet - Guitar Hero 2 - Star Trek Legacy - Double Agent - WWE 2007
Wii 4237-4425-6442-7626
Mario Party 8 - Rayman Raving Rabbids - Excite Truck - Zelda: Twilight Princess - Godfather - Wii Play
So 90% of HD market ... that probably makes it less than 0.9% of the movie market.
yer we can get HDDVDs here who the hell made this shit up. I see way more HDDVD discs on shelf then blue ray atm.
477 HD DVD releases v 344 Blu-Ray

It's pretty big in Europe. And it's around in Japan, since Toshiba is a Japanese company. We just don't hear much of sales in Japan, from either HD-DVD or blu-ray.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
