Its chump change.

Dark Knigth release + Holiday.....

$60M?

Hardly impressive, regardless of previous weeks revenue.

$60M sounds like a really big number, but how does that compare to DVD sales $$? Any numbers for that?

DVD penetration is enormous, like was VHS penetration enormous when DVD was introduced. DVD related sales are however slowing, Blu-Ray related sales are seeing huge gains.

So it's more interesting to compare equal time frames and currently Blu-Ray adoption outpaces DVD adoption taking equal time frames. As HDTV penetration increases, so will the interest in Blu-Ray and the PS3 grow.

That doesn't actually answer the question though, does it? Why bring the PS3 into it?

We're in a different "age" now than when DVD was introduced some 10 years ago...

Heck, a lot of people didn't even have computers at home in developed countries.

There hasn't been a significant demonstration of a link between HDTV penetration and uptake of Blu-Ray format, Blu-Ray should be doing far better than it is. Your arugment is not only pointless (literally, you aren't making a point at all) You are providing no info yet making assertions that should be a given - hence, there is no "point".

Better luck next time.

Well, there has been a link between the uptake of HDTV's and the uptake of PS3's..............and the PS3 is a Blu-Ray player.

Was there any need for this sarcastic comment at the end?

Where?

PS3's best market is Others.

Others also has the lowest HD pentration by far.

It's sales are pathetic in Japan and while it's in second place it's still PS3's worst market...(trending towards gamecube.)

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=GC&reg1=Japan&cons2=PS3&reg2=Japan&cons3=N64&reg3=Japan&weeks=156

and Japan has massive HD penetration... Like well over 50%.

No... no it doesn't.

Unless Blu-ray silently hit the 100 million disc mark.

DVD had sold more DVDs then Blu-ray has at this point in time LTD.

Which is funny considering the total movie market was like... 30%+ smaller.

@ Uncle Fister

For Japan Blu-Ray is the leading format, surprisingly HDTVs have already seen an enormous penetration there as well.

For the United States Dark Knight on Blu-Ray accounts for about 20% of sales and more regarding revenue. It's a record compared to DVD adoption and a great result this early within its lifecycle.



It's one of the best Blu-Ray players on the market, great quality, fast loading, great additional HDTV targeted content and services like games and PlayTV (for Europe), etc.



So? You don't need a computer to enjoy your HDTV setup, actually a Blu-Ray player or PS3 is usually far more comfortable for that.



LOL, why should one buy a Blu-Ray player without owning a HDTV?
