I'm not convinced. A great many people have bitched that they will not
replace their current SD DVD library for one of the HD formats,
especially with upconverting technology, so I think the strategy of
releasing newer titles first was sound.

IOW, people are more likely to buy a new format if they don't already
have it on a format they consider acceptable. At least until they get
hooked into the new format.
