(b) PS3 sales by
itself far outnumber any hddvd players. THEREFORE, given the larger
player base (and as shown in numbers of discs sold from 2006 to today,
where sales of hddvd was much larger than blu-ray in 2006, but where
blu-ray now surpasses it by almost 60:40), the sales for blu-ray will
become significantly larger than hd-dvd sales as time passes.
Part of the problem in counting/comparing PS3 sales to dedicated HD-DVD
players is that nobody really knows how many people are buying PS3s with
Blu-Ray movies in mind or to only use it to play Blu-Ray movies while
everyone buying a dedicated player is definately buying it to use it for
buying/renting/playing movies on. If the PS3 and Xbox360 are competing for
the same customers (which seems to be conventional wisdom) and you make it
appear like all those PS3s will be used to play Blu-Ray movies then why does
the HD-DVD addon for the 360 have an attachment rate of less than 5%? If
customers are buying top end gaming consoles with the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD format
wars at the top of the list of reasons for buying the console then the
attachment rate would be considerably higher.
