Everybodies high def actual sales numbers must be tiny, that 'since inception' number has barely moved (HD DVD has only just moved to 32% this month and not the 33% it has been all of this year).
I'm not surprised the verses SD DVD stat is being dropped, no-one except the die-hard Blu-ray/PS3 gang would believe that in a movie disc market where SD DVD sell 750 million + discs annually and Blu-ray has yet to see even double figure annual sales that that equates to 4%, 6% or (hysterically) 8% of the market.
Blu-ray (in it's entire 2 years of being around) has yet to match just 2% of the SD DVD annual sales number.
Blu-ray is going nowhere, least of all into the mainstream mass-market.
Okay, I've been converted. It should be obvious to everybody that if a format hasn't been embraced by the mainstream in less than two years of existence it's obviously DOA and has no hope. Because everybody knows that DVD came out of the gate fully formed with zero problems and left VHS in the dust within two years, right? Oh, wait.
"Everybodies high def actual sales numbers must be tiny, that 'since inception' number has barely moved (HD DVD has only just moved to 32% this month and not the 33% it has been all of this year)."
All of this year?!? You mean all of 4 months compared to 2 years from its conception?!? LOL! Do you work out your sums on toilet paper and with a large green crayon?!?

Yet again you jump to your own deluded conclusion "dead link? oh they must be giving up!!!!" LMAO! You really are a space cadet! How can you equate market success of a new technology to that of an established one that has been marketed for 10+ years, expect it to supercede it within such a short time frame and ultimately conclude it's failure!!! Well in the crazy, crazy mind of Truth Teller you can! Time to take your brain for it's annual service! I predict it will fail!
"Blu-ray (in it's entire 2 years of being around) has yet to match just 2% of the SD DVD annual sales number."
What happened to you always saying that Blu-ray would never surpass 1% of the market?!? Ooops! did that happen already?!? LAMO! damn, spelling mistake! that should b.....actually, no I was right the first time!
"Blu-ray is going nowhere, least of all into the mainstream mass-market."
Your track record of predicting the adoption of ANYTHING is laughable at best!
The TRUTH is Toshiba ain't paying your wage any more sunshine! AND for a shill your comments were shit! No original content, same old news, you were a joke and still are!
2009 will be year for HD disc media, 2008 and prior are/were the ALPHA and BETA periods, now that we have a single format, the HD TV markets is gaining momentum, the 2008 holiday season will be the true "launch" of HD disc media for mainstream...so all of your doomsday talk is laughable.
Again, you have been wrong about HD disc media on all accounts, why should *anyone* put any stock in anything you say? Just stop already, you're embarrassing yourself....
So since HD-DVD lost, Truth Teller bashes Blu-Ray for the hell of it. I guess he's right, HD movies will never take off. The only way HD movies were ever going to sell was to have HD-DVD. The video quality on HD-DVD was THAT much better, especially with all that extra capacity they had.... Come on now.
Augustus, you've pretty much nailed it. TT is an immature crybaby who spent months advocating HD DVD. But since his beloved format lost, he now advocates piracy, video on demand, upscaling, CH DVD, and storage formats which won't exist for years assuming they ever do. Anything basically which allows his clouded mind to pretend blu ray won't succeed. Ignore him or laugh at him. Both are valid options.
Omg! He's laughing at us guys! He added LMAO at the end of his post, so he must be having the last laugh! Arrhh, his "LMAO"s make me sooo angry!!! AhrHRH!!
