Why Blu-ray Can't Lose...

Of course, I am leaving out other aspects to why Blu-ray can't lose, but here is a short version of it.

Even though the HD-DVD marketing team has been doing a great job against Blu-ray and the Blu-ray team has made a few mistakes, Blu-ray will be tied into too many things to ever lose.

The worst case scenario for Blu-ray is a tie. Here is why.

PC market is all about having more available space (more storage). No future scenario for HD-DVD includes anywhere near a 200GB disc capacity. Plus there has been no HD-DVD PC drives available to date.

All PS3 games will be on Blu-ray discs. Since they have the number gaming platform in the world, that will be tens of millions of Blu-ray discs sold a year.

That leaves movies. Worst case for movies is about 1 movie sold per console/standalone player. That's tens of millions of movies sold (that's not per year for those thinking I mean that). That's based on worst case PS3 sales of 20 to 30 million sold over the life span of the product line. Japan only bought over 22 million PS2s (and counting) over it's life span. Those numbers won't change much in Japan. So, that's saying that only 8 million units are sold throughout the rest of the world (ROFLMAO).

So, you see, the worst Blu-ray can do is tie. The worst HD-DVD can do is die. If you choose to believe HD-DVD can do anything but tie for 1st place, then that is your "Matrix". But for those who are finally starting to realize this, "welcome to the REAL world"!
