Impact of the Global Economy to Blu-ray Players.

Funny, because I just read a snide posting on Gizmodo about how Blu-ray is selling poorly.

I just wonder how Blu-ray could simultaneously be selling at a faster pace than DVD did, yet still "Blu-ray, in its fourth year, only has revenues that are about a quarter of what DVD made in its fourth year."

Conflicting data interpretations is fun. I don't get what's wrong with Gizmodo though. The way they write about Blu-ray it's as though they're being forced to support it, so they attempt to write things showing its level of success but still do their best to make Blu-ray come out smelling like ass on the other end.

And if I may answer the question posed by the link to the Gizmodo article: Blu-ray is successful if it is profitable. It is profitable, therefore it is successful. The end.

edit: wait a second. Blu-ray ALREADY almost makes up a quarter of revenue for DVD as it stands now. How the HELL could DVD's revenue in 2001 come anywhere near matching CURRENT revenue from DVD?
