In Reply to: And in Japan, the ratio is even greater for standalone High Def recorders at about 80% to 20% posted by jaiva on December 16, 2007 at 16:45:27:
Is there really a significant correlation between the relative success of HD recorder sales and HD media players/software sales ? Do the studios really care at all about the success of HD recorders when choosing whether or not to publish movies on Blu-ray or HD DVD ?
If anything, I'd think the Blu-ray-exclusive studios are fairly ambivalent about the "success" of Blu-ray burners in the market because of the increased "copyiability" of Blu-ray movies.
