Do those 10 million include PS3s?

$14.5 billion in DVD sales.
$.75 billion in BR sales.

14.5 + .750 = 15.25 billion

95.08% = DVD sales

4.92% = BR sales

 

 

With DVD controlling 95% market...hmmm...so how many years before it's 50/50?

The statement said 750 mil on the blu-ray format, I think that includes blu-ray player sales. The better comparison may be 750 mil / 22.4 bil which is 3.3%. At least thats the way I interpret it.

Well they don't say how the sales of DVDs were.

They only said "mature" dvd sales dropped 9 percent.

This story isn't on the level (like all news reports)

while that is nice figures breakdown for companies it doesn't show the percentage of DVD's vs. Blu Rays sales but instead the ratio of the sales revenue

 

Like say average DVD cost is $12 and Blu Ray is $25.  (no idea, just threw out numbers)  Then you can see that

14.5 billion DVD revenue =  1.21 billion DVD's sold

.75 billion Blu Ray revenue =  30 million Blu Ray's sold

 

97.58% DVD's

2.42% Blu Ray
