Will blu be bigger than 10% from now on? - Blu-ray Forum

Well, Blu has been right under 10% for a while now according the the home media magazine's numbers that we see every week. With the new players coming in at $200, I think that it could be very possible that the newer, cheaper players could push blu to greater than 10% from now on. Do y'all agree? Disagree? Not sure?

I would say yes! Expect a great result this coming Friday. I am thinking new % vs DVD record.

It is..the op was probably wondering if it will be at least 10% every week, and the answer is yes. The % of sales will keep increasing in Blu-ray's favor.

It will only explode and consistently grow under 2 conditions:

1) If the studios start phasing out DVDs. Especially, re-releasing titles that have already been out in the DVD format before.
2) If retail prices for BDs start to drop more, especially in stores, to be closer to the cost of DVDs. People will be more willing to buy Blu-rays as an upgrade if it doesn't cost at least twice as much.
