Blu-ray to the world - "We've won!"
Author: Brett Thomas
Published: 8th January 2008
Well, it's time for the truth to come out - the format war, by all major sales figures from all reliable points, is pretty well over. Sales figures over the holidays of 2007 showed Blu-ray outstripped HD-DVD sales by a whopping two to one, meaning two thirds of all HD products sold were BR.
The HD-DVD press conference here at CES was cancelled, and the Blu-ray conference on Monday evening had one solid message: "We won."
As mentioned, the raw sales figures worldwide showed BR discs selling double. More importantly, this wasn't a spike - the entire thirteen week quarter showed these figures to be fairly consistent. In fact, they're continually growing.
To add insult to injury , a last minute addition to the BR Disc Association panel was none other than Ron Sanders, President of Warner Brothers Home Video. For those who missed the news, Warner Brothers announced that it was breaking rank and defecting from HD-DVD to produce Blu-ray only, despite the large possibility of a lawsuit for breach of contract by the HD-DVD group and the format's main hardware producer, Toshiba.
