Pointing out the Emperor's new clothes? Having a different view?
Oh my, the humanity!
The point is not whether or not Blu-ray can at some point in the future manage to post a genuine 12% of the market number.
It's not even whether DVD had 12% of the market 2yrs+ in either.
The point is that Blu-ray does not have a true 12% right now. It holds a highly suspect number in a highly selective and odd series of stats and everyone knows it, no matter what they say (the Washington Post mentioned 4% the other day, which just goes to show they are not prepared to parrot 12% but will give them some sort of the benefit of the doubt - but they sure as hell are nowhere near 4% of that 1.7 billion number and everyone knows that too.
No matter how desperately some people want to believe different.
It speaks volumes that the BDA have now shut-up shop on disclosing verifiable actual sales numbers.
