Sony VP Chris Fawcett declined to provide exact market share percentages of the two sides.
He said the change occurred mostly due to the introduction of Sony’s $499 player.

ha. well i guess they still have "better attach rates" as they say. how much longer until that little argument is disproved.

I think this is based on more profit made per unit than actual numbers.
I could be wrong though.

They can attach-rate-my-ass until they turn blu!!! It doesnt matter oif they have more movies per player, when we, supposedly according to them, have less dedicate players, but somehow we have 2:1 lead on movie sales almost worldwide....the whole attach-rate term goes out the window!

I guess maybe some of those insiders were right about this format war ending sooner than expected....I mean its still early, but I think a winner could be declared by Q2/Q3 2008
