In Reply to: Blu ray now sell 2.6 discs when HD DVD sell 1 disc in USA. posted by Ole Lund Christensen on February 11, 2007 at 05:38:09:
<< Toshiba and HD DVD did not want to comment. So they also know they have lost. >>Are they paying you to write this silly stuff? You sound like a shill for Sony.
The truth is that so far we have *two* losers -- HD-DVD and Blu-Ray. Right now they each have a grand total of 150 titles each. Compare that to DVD, with over 50,000 titles.
The only people that buy either format are the uber-techno-geeks. If you don't believe me, check out the sales statistics at Amazon.com. Both formats are running neck-and-neck, with Blu-Ray taking a small lead in recent weeks. But check out the #5 top selling HD-DVD disc -- it's a *test* disc! Normal people just don't buy test discs...
So there you have it -- another giant flop, just like SACD and DVD-A. The normal person doesn't give a hoot, and a miniscule group of uber-techno-geeks are making a tempest in a teapot over which flop of a format is "winning". Give us a break.
