1. Comment - TDK Develops 200GB Blu-ray Disc

   (Sep 3, 2006 - 8:34 AM)

   You are right that HD-DVD is leading in sales.... all 400,000 units by end of the year (that’s being VERY GENEROUS). The Playstation 2 helped put DVD’s into everyone’s home and was instrumental in the early years in getting DVD established to replace VHS. Now that the technology to move forward to a new medium is here, Sony steps up again and introduces Blu-ray into the homes of millions. Meanwhile Microsoft won’t even support its OWN format for its games or bother to include it in their system.
   
   In the first 2 months alone Sony will be shipping 2 million(ish) Blu-ray units inside the PS3 and it WILL sell out and in every market around the globe, with more to follow every month. Has HD-DVD sold millions of units around the globe after being out for many months? NO! Sony will gain a massive lead of Blu-ray units in the homes of millions around the world within a very short time frame because of the attraction the PS3 and all its technologies offers.
   
   There simple isn't enough reward or drive behind HD-DVD players for most consumers and especially gamers to justify buying an add-on unit. The people that buy new technology like new media players are mainly young adults. With what the PS3 offers there is more than enough incentive for a very large consumer demographic to go ahead and invest in Blu-ray and the PS3.
   
   Ya I think TDK is being smart in developing 200gig Blu-ray discs. Do you see any potential HD-DVD units selling like the PS3 will?
