In Reply to: RE: What I find worrisome is the possibility J6P will continue to stay away from $30 HD media... posted by racerguy on September 28, 2007 at 15:30:19:
I've said all along that these two formats will most likely be niche products. People aren't all that interested, even those with HDTV. The players just aren't selling, even the PS3 underpreformed-over half of those sold were sold the first month it was out. The movies are expensive, and I doubt the studios will lower them very much-the whole point of the new media is to bring in more money.
OTOH, the possibility of making tens of billions of dollars in royalties and lisencing fees from the new formats is enough to keep both sides motivated. Analists expect the "format war" to be around for until least 2009.
We'll see.
