Wii Dark Knight Blu Ray give the DVD the final nail in the coffin in USA??

Since in Japan Blu Ray HW sales is already outpacing DVD HW sales and software sales are already even as we speak

so is 6th DECEMBER 2008 the doomsday for DVD?

IRON MAN blu Ray has reached 1m copies sold in USA as we speak

U read it wrong

in Japan Blu ray HW sales is outpacing DVD HW sales by 30%

in JAPAN DVD is done

US/EUROPE to go

BTW Digital distribution make up for just 0.5% of total weekly movie sales

DD will never take off. It is just a niche thing

Oh yeah I guess I did but still 30%. I agree about DD as I can only get dial-up where I live unless I want satellite with a 2GB/month cap on it. I know that many more people worldwide are in this same situation and will continue to be in it in the near future which kills any appeal digital distrubution holds.

Numbers are 30:70 already in Japan

 

Numbers will be like that when TDK is launched in USA

I predict 5m copies 1st week sales



The dark knight is going to kill! 50/50 that week is my guess :)
