Top Grossing Studios for 2006

You know, I think one of the biggest things Blu-ray has going against it right now is the 'RIGHT NOW' aspect.

Right now: More HD-DVD titles have been looking better
Right now: HD-DVD players are half the price (MSRP) of any stand alone BD player
Right now: HD-DVD sales are killing Blu-ray sales
Right now: There is only Toshiba vs. Samsung
Right now: Many players have been delayed by Blu-ray
Right now: More movies are available in the HD-DVD format
Right now: HD-DVD has sold more players than Blu-ray
Right now: The reviews for the Toshiba seem to be better than the Samsung
Right now: HD-DVD doesn't have region encoding
Right now: HD-DVD does have a usable Ethernet connection

In two years, not one of those things may still hold true or as exclusive for HD-DVD and within the next few months, many of those items may change dramatically. But, it doesn't change the line of conversation 'right now'. I am excited for Blu-ray to start flexing some muscles here to see whether it is real... or just flab.
