Enderle - "Blu-ray Is Sony's Iraq" - WTH!? - Page 9 - Blu-ray Forum

This dude may be right - look at how much news there is about Iraq right now... None.
Things are straightening up right now, and from my military connections, it seems like it is going to end up in victory.
The point the author makes here asking whether Bush would do it again if he knew the costs of unpopularity, the rhetotical anwser he's begging is "no", but the real answer is "yes", because the decision was made by the LEADER Pres Bush, not by some pollster. Like it or not, he and his administration were convinced of the necessity to go to war, and he knew it would be a long struggle. And he's been dumped on continuously, true, but he's borne it all along because the decision was made on prinicple.
So if the analogy is carried to Sony & the BDA, sure it was more expensive to develop Blu Ray as a revolutionary advance from DVD instead of just evolving forward like HD DVD. I'd compare this to the evolution of Laser Disc from CD versus the DVD revolution. Sony & partners agreed in principle it was better to go forward with new technologies for HDM rather than taking the easy route, and it has served all you adopters well with great PQ and uncompressed audio, and it is not appreciably more expensive than the evolutionary HD DVD format.
So keep going Sony, I think that victory is near. What if the US & coalition gives up on Iraq - then our military and will power will never be taken seriously again - and who exactly is that good for? The same sort of people who will be burning you Blu Rays (and all your electronics) like books were burned in the 1930s-40s. Likewise if Sony folded up shop after having BD come under scrutiny, who would take any new formats from Sony seriously (Betamax, MiniDisc, UMD)? No, it is time to dig in and win out!!!

And thanks & God Bless all those brave enough to stand up to the evil and danger in our time!!!

He's as dead quiet as Toshiba is at CES right now. Hardly a coincidence.

This guy must be an IDIOT!!! Even with HD DVD getting the early start Blu ray has consistently outsold it. Does he have that fact? That and Blu ray is better technology period. As far as games on PS3 the studios have finally started learning new technology and are getting more comfortable with the hardware so why does he think that studio's are abandoning the PS3? He must be getting paid off by somebody!

I forwarded this to Foxnews.com. Those are the type of people to take the fight to him. Eh, we'll see how it goes.

Los Angeles Times article

Quote:

"I think the fat lady just sang," said Rob Enderle, principal analyst with Enderle Group in San Jose. "This gives Blu-ray a decisive lead. The question now is whether it is too little too late."

Enderle said consumers might have moved on to digital downloads to get movies rather than wait to buy them on next-generation DVDs. The next big chance to sell high-definition movie players won't be until next Christmas, he said. "By then, it may all be moot."

He's saying downloads may already have won. Oooo, real shocker huh?

Look at this guys track record. How in the hell does he still have a site / blog etc. to write on. This guy is the biggest f*ck up ever.

(1) He claimed that Apple would crash and burn
(2) He claimed Blu-ray would crash and burn and the PS3 would be the next Dreamcast

blu-backer · 01-06-2008, 05:14 PM

Wow, just wow. This guy is a total tool. Scary to think that there are people who buy his tripe.
