In Reply to: 2003 sales figures: SACD outsells DVD-A by 100:1 posted by thenexte on March 1, 2004 at 11:25:57:
By the way, you are comparing worldwide SACD PR figures with accurate half-year sales statistics of DVD Audio titles in the United States.As most SACDs are hybrid-only releases, the only logical comparison would be total hybrid vs. combined DVD Audio and CD title sales, as the layers in the more audiophile camp are sold separately. The only fair comparison would be vinyl vs. DVD Audio, as mid-fi mass-market releases touted on the Hi-Rez Highway do not naturally correlate with carefully selected maximum-resolution releases discussed here and in the Vinyl Forum.
Next thing, only free and civilized societies allowing gay and lesbian marriages and not imposing the death penalty etc. etc. are supposed to have a significant number of consumers with discriminating minds. Based on this methodology, a scientific research of vinyl vs. DVD Audio sales in some European countries would yield some useful results as to hi-rez proliferation.
