Too long since your last shot of format - state of war surmisal ? BusinessWeek utilise three indicators to call Blu - ray ( and Sony ) the current leading competitor :
1 . Blu - ray has sell more than double as many discs asHD DVDthis year .
2 . While HD videodisc has a larger number of consecrated players in the mart , 2.3 million PS3s volunteer an consuming advantage .
3.Rumors suggestthat Warner Bros. will go Blu - ray only , giving that side 70 % of the home - video market .
At the very same time , though , analysts from theDiffusion Groupreleased a report promise HD videodisk the eventual victor :

The field of study says that , among those planning to hop to high - def disk in the next six calendar month , “ 43 % prefer HD DVD , 27 % choose Blu - ray , and 30 % are undecided . ” Here ’s the funny part :
The most contiguous undulation , which is expect to be wash up by early 2008 , is comprised of the remaining other adopters who … show a preference for Blu - ray . The 2nd ( and more goodly ) wave will lie of former mass - market place consumers who , while less enthusiastic about technology per se and very toll sensitive , are more likely to favor HD DVD .
This corroborates whatI said last calendar week : when the masses start grease one’s palms a high - def movie player for their high - def tv set , they are going to buy the cheap Chinese player , not the fancy $ 300 player from the recognizable sword . Also , Diffusion ’s enquiry echoes an old tilt : consumer who see HD DVD think “ logical high - def extension of videodisc format ” ; they see Blu - ray and think “ WTF ? ” ( candidly , we ’re presently more fond to double - platter player fromSamsungandLG . )

That is n’t to say that the BusinessWeek analysis was n’t good . I was taken aback by the Warner hearsay , since Warner ’s HD videodisk areso much betterthan its identical Blu - ray releases , but if Warner does side with Sony , there will be some big trouble in the little HD DVD camp .
