Strategy Analytics are complete idiots. First of all, have they read the news lately? I mean come on, its all about the economy, stupid. They wont reach 29 million blu ray players when people are cutting back on their spending.
Second, the disk cost too much. Only techheads and early adopters are willing to sheleve out 30 bucks for a movie. And i mean come on the prices on blu ray are wayyy to high. If they cant sell 29 million xbox 360's at 299.99, how the hell are they going to sell 30 million blu ray players at 400+ a pop.
Don't you think strategy analysts know how to do their job? or do you think they know less than some waster sitting at their PC with illiterate typing skills who claims to read the news?!?
You disgruntled HD-DVD clowns make me laugh. You all have such a overly skewed idea of how much hardware and software should cost.
The comment about no one being willing to pay $30 for a movie (on Blu-Ray) made me laugh. In the UK we pay $20 to $28 for new releases of STANDARD definition DVDs, and last I heard they sell quite well, even in the current economic climate!!!
If UK residents discover a way to buy Blu-ray disks for $30, yo9u can consider SD DVD format dead, and the numbers in this article as being way too low!
