Uh, if you purposefully keep the market tiny for 3-4 years their will be no market. Any sane businessperson realizes this. Thinking that any of the members of the Blu-ray Association (BDA) would throw away the chance for that kind of profits is absurd. Stockholders just LOVE it when companies have slow or no growth.

Sony is not driving this boat. The BDA is in control of these decisions. The BDA board of directors is controlled by 18 CE companies, all of whom are in this business to make maximum profit, not to make bad business decisions. Maximum profit comes from major market penetration, not selling expensive boutique players to 1% of the market while downloads quietly take over their market. Not to mention, the real money is in movies and licensing fees for them. No players in the wild means movie sales remain pathetic meaning nobody, the licensees or the movie companies make any significant money. Again sounds like a great business plan.
