Forums - Gaming - Blu-ray Disc Exceeds Expectations

ChichiriMuyo on 03 January 2009

So according to the article, standalone BR players are being accepted twice as quickly as stand alone DVD players were, and then we have PS3 sales on top of that. If MikeB is to be believed, DVD also had twice the adoption rate of VHS in the first couple of years.

Anyone who still thinks BR is a failure needs to get a clue.



You do not have the right to never be offended.

If I've learned anything from Blu-Ray marketing spin, it's that that "market-share" graph is most likely done based on revenue instead of units sold.

 

 Which is the only thing any business in the world cares about..



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Meh...

I'll just wait till 2034 when we're using Quantom Crystal Memory Shards...

They'll make 16 layer, 400GB BD's look rusty.

They didn't say that. They said they wanted Sony players to have 50% of the Blu-ray market.

Oh, that makes sense and is something entirely different.

 



Naughty Dog: "At Naughty Dog, we're pretty sure we should be able to see leaps between games on the PS3 that are even bigger than they were on the PS2."
