  1. Comment - Sony Drops Price of New Blu-ray Player

    (Jun 4, 2007 - 2:54 PM)

    Of the three major territories, BluRay utterly dominates Japan/Asia with 98 percent of the market and are selling at more than twice the rate in the US and Europe in 2007.

    BluRay player sales dwarf HD-DVD standalone and the no longer supported 360 addon.

    Almost every single blockbuster title from the last two years will be on BluRay and only around 40 percent will appear on HD-DVD.

    The only people still clinging to HD-DVD are the tiny Dreamcast/Xbox/Microsoft hardcore fanboy demographic that 'hate teh Sony'. And when even the mothership up in Redmond has given up on HD-DVD even the hardcore fanboys are going to stop throwing cash into a dead format like HD-DVD.

    "Sony's move is likely more in response to rising sales of HD DVD players."

    Hilarious!

    "Data seems to indicate much of the format's strength comes from PS3 owners buying the discs."

    Gee, could it also be the fact that BluRay has the largest exclusive studio support by a wide margin...

    And, gee, could it also be BluRay's technological advantage...

    I guess it is too tempting for sites to want to pretend there still is or ever was a BluRay / HD-DVD war. Even Microsoft and their half-assed attempt to push HD-DVD have thrown in the towel on the dead format when they decided not to include HD-DVD in their so called 'high end media 360' or even bother to make a matching black version of the now useless HD-DVD addon.

    BluRay sales are 70-80 percent of the market in all three major territories. The only people still buying HD-DVD are foaming at the mouth Xbox fans. And even their pathetically sad burning hatred of Sony won't keep them throwing money after a dead format when Microsoft themselves have giving up on it.

    Bogus and debunked. But you knew that before you tried to pass it off as legit.

    Stupid fanboys.

    10 million?

    Wake us up when the 360 has actually sold 10 million...

    The crappy Forza 2 and Halo 3 graphics have turned Halo fans into Wii fans.

    "We don't care about 'graphics' we only care about 'gameplay'!"

    No one should be surprised at how weak the 360 is and why the Xbox 1.5 label from developers is accurate. Just look at a mess like Gears of War where they had to force the levels into mostly tiny hallways/rooms with just a few characters on screen at once. At even then the game was a jaggy mess with a massive amount of blur to cover up the rendering problems.

    With the 360 selling worse than the first Xbox and bleeding cash at the same rate and their big first party titles getting laughed at across the Net you have to wonder what the hell they are doing in a market the have no competence to compete in.
