Back in 2008ish. Sam and a whole lot of the DvD spot lot ripped me for arse paper for boldly claiming Blu-ray sales by 2012 will start to overtake DvD sales.
Actually you stated it would overtake by 2010. It didn't. I still stand by that Blu-ray will not become the out and out norm anytime soon. Also, they include the combo packs in BR sales figures rather than DVD sales figures. I bet of they included them in both, the story but would be a lot different. The only time i stated it could have been 2010 if there had not been the format war. And if i remember correctly in that format war you backed HD-DvD  Don't bother going deep into the bowels of BPRM and getting something i wrote and just changing the date on it. |

Sorry,
but your source is talking about a share of 35%. Not only that, it is ignoring the drop following that record breaking week... Week ending 17th September 2011: Blu-ray vs DVD: 34.8% vs 65.2% Week ending 24th September 2011: Blu-ray vs DVD: 29.24% vs 70.76% Week ending 1st October 2011: Blu-ray vs DVD: 27.93% vs 72.07% Now, I am not saying it won't happen, but predicting it based on those numbers is, in my opinion, a little optimisitic. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Any chance that week was the Star Wars release? If it was then the data is even more unimpressive considering that was exclusively a Blu release, and a big one at that. Edit: Answered my own question. It was indeed the week Star Wars was released. Once again, the data gets cherrypicked to tell the story one wants to tell.  | | | | Last edited: by mdnitoil |

| | Posted: | | | | Once again, the numbers are skewed due to the fact that the Lion King's 1.5 million copies were Blu-ray exclusive. What might the numbers have been if there had been a DVD only version?
The week ending 10/15/2011 will be a better indicator as I don't think there was a Blu-ray exclusive that week. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
