Blu-ray camp predicts 10 million players same time next year

Lol at first I was like "Wtf thats not possible" and then I saw they were including the PS3.

Yeah that will probably happen. Or at least it will be close.

I think they are still going to be wrong. Frankly they are counting on all these people who been waiting out the war to rush in and buy. I was waiting for a long long time. Problem is the players are still way too high. I am sure sales will increase but I think they are thinking too high. I could be wrong though.

Save this article so when they don't meet the benchmark you can always run it in later.

Considering that Warner Bros. has gone Blu-ray exclusive and Paramount and/or Universal will be doing the same shortly this estimate seems reasonable.

Bibly,

where do you come up with this stuff... Fantasy Island?

Paramount has said time and time agin in the last 24 hours...

WE ARE SUPPORTING HD-DVD FOR NOW!

They have made no mention or plans to jump into Blu-Ray, and Universal is staying in the HD camp for now.

I understand you are a BR fanboy, but at least when making a comment, make sure you are stating fact! not rumors from a bad huffing flashback.

If they are including the PS3.. that's still a pretty aggressive claim. They'd have to sell twice as many as they did last year... It's possible though if sales pick up, although a lot of the numbers it accumulated from it's first year of sales were from the launch fever of fanboys everywhere. It's possible as the 360 has already bested 10 million in the states.

RUMORS RUMORS RUMORS!!!!!

It was just a few weeks ago blu ray "fan boys or girls" were saying Warner Bros would be switching sides to Blu, and of course HD DVD fan boys blew up, and thought it was complete malarkey. Even Warner’s denied the switch and rumors they would be leaving HD DVD however, the switch did happen. Now with all the rumors about Paramount and even Universal, those companies are keeping quiet on their future releases and being rumored of a switch to blu ray. My opinion, Rumor or not, if there is speculation already on these two companies jumping ship, and moving elsewhere like Warner’s did, I think it has a higher chance of happening, no matter what some media relations person said about sticking with, or still supporting HD DVD. Again, that’s my opinion.

Universal rumors

Saying what you THINK will happen is ok, but some people speak like they know... thats where alot of people see the problem.

Would blu-Ray still be successful if Playstation 3 had NO Blu-Ray player????


How many Blu-Ray stand-alone players have been sold so far??


Universal and Paramount are staying with HD-DVD I hope.
