[QUOTE="RotaryRX7"][QUOTE="Puckhog04"]DVD's are still outselling both on a massive scale. RotaryRX7

Maybe...because.......98% of the world has DVD players and only like .01% has a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player?

Is that my problem?

Yes, considering the point you made. When DVD's first came out and barely anyone had DVD players, did you say "CD's pwn DVD's because they're outselling DVD's 2:1 right now" even though no one had DVD players yet?

It's Sony's problem chief, not mine. They are the ones that need to move the DVD owners from the DVD format over to the HD formats.

Your point?

Do i really need to explain this?

Read the rest of the thread, sheesh.

Yes you do. I have read the rest of the thread and non of the bashers have made a valid point.

As long as DVD's are selling like crazy Blu-ray will not be dominant, by the time it beocmes dominant, the Wii and 360 will be so far ahead it won't make a difference

Exactly what does Wii and 360 have to do with Blu Ray?

Blu-ray is killing the PS3, that's what

"a) there was no competition with the succession to DVD, it was a consumer driven transition, opposed to a corporate pushed transition we're facing now
b) DVDs provided a revolutionary form and function, not only were audio and visual quality better, you could pause, skip and escape primitive VHS ****navigation. HD formats do not provide the same jump
c) DVDs required no other adoptive technologies. HD formats require the extremely expensive HDTVs.

So it's a smaller jump, that requires more of consumers, it's not the same situation."

[QUOTE="AvinashTyagi"][QUOTE="Puckhog04"]DVD's are still outselling both on a massive scale. Ps3Solider

Exactly, as long as Sdvds sell, Blu-ray won't save the PS3, rather it'll kill it

VHS, WAS OUTSEELIN THE DVD, AND LOOK HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! OFF COURSE DVD ITS OUTSELLIN BLUE RAY, BUT GIVE IT TIME.

Sigh, your like the 100th person to use this flawed analogy. Here's why it's flawed. a) there was no competition with the succession to DVD, it was a consumer driven transition, opposed to a corporate pushed transition we're facing now b) DVDs provided a revolutionary form and function, not only were audio and visual quality better, you could pause, skip and escape primitive VHS style navigation. HD formats do not provide the same jump c) DVDs required no other adoptive technologies. HD formats require the extremely expensive HDTVs. So it's a smaller jump, that requires more of consumers, it's not the same situation.

Let me let you in on a little secret. People who buy HDTVs are not going to want to watch DVDs on them.

Most people don't own HDTVs

Correction: most people dont own hdtv right now.. the hdtv adoption rate has been huge for the past year (look at sony bravia's sales as an example). The adoption rate is only widening with the ps3 now global. In four years time probably three (if we are to believe the blu-ray association) blu-ray will take over as the standard. While its true that dvds will still hold a huge percentage of the market, it will only dwindle from there in out.

Analysts only predict LCD sales will overtake CRT sales in the US in 2009. Obviously it'll take longer than that for HDTVs to become standard once they begin selling more, and they will be subject to diminishing returns in the rate of speed at which ownership rates rise. Yes, HDTVs will be standard in the years to come, but it'll happen at the end of this generation, or the beginning of the next one (unless you actually believe the PS3 will last until 2016). Ergo, Blu-ray won't be able to help the PS3.

This gen is over in five years, so it won't save the PS3 or Sony's game division

Sure, but by then this gen will be at the end or it'll be the next gen

Exactly. It's too early this generation IMO for Bluray or HD-DVD.

 

its funny how you guys think you are smarter than the poeple tah tworks for sony!! they have the money and the brand to change peoples mind, what you guys have?

 

Sony knows better than anyone that blue ray its gonna win this gen, after all the ps2 boosted DVD sales m ps3 will b the same thing to blu ray, and its happening.

Is that why they have a whole cupboard full of failed formats under their belt?

And as I've said, DVD adoption is completely different to HD adoption.

 

u never get it rigth, MICROSOF FAILED  with other thing in the past, all companies fail sometime, Nintendo failed with N64 ATARI failed, Sony isnt perfect, but ps3 already 2millions sold = 2millions bluray players in less than 4 months, we all know its gonna win, is just matter of time.

Wii sold 6 million, so no PS3 isn't anywhere near winning, and in fact PS3 sales are slowing

 

lo!! u dont know how this markets work!! it doesnt matter if they are slow, they can rank up from tonigth to the next morning.

Not going to happen, not at $599 and not with a format most don't care about

And, still, BluRay has taken over in the last couple month, mostly because of free vouchers from pathetic P$3 sales.  Yep, BluRay might win the war, it's a possibility. 

But.....in all that time, P$3 are still sitting on store shelves in Japan, North America and Europe.  So by this measure, you buy your console mainly for gaming, and guess what, the 360 is gobbling up all of P$3 exclusives.  MGS and FFxx is now or soon to be 360's property!!!!:P

Bluray is the single most important reason why the P$3 has failed.........

Anyway, being a owner of a HD monitor for over 2 years, I still don't have a huge urge to buy a HD player.  And I am a huge media buff.  Nuff said......

So blu ray wins, PS3 wins! HD DVD its loosin bad, and blu ray will b the only format out there with DVD,. so people will buy the cheapest blu ray player in the market, and bling bling, PS3 $600 VS $1200

 

Ps3 will win.

PabbssPS3

 

Not yet, dang it!  The PS3 begins to really shine at the end of this year into next year!

Sony has more format failures than any company I know of; Betamax, UMD, MicroMV, Super CD, they have proven themselves consistently horrible at picking what's going to work. It doesn't matter how many PS3s they sell, because Blu-ray is totally dependant on HDTVs, which won't become standard for years, after this generation is over.

 

those were other times, Sony has Studio company's to back up the blu ray format includin Sony's movies studio, COLUMBIA PICTURES,, im sorry guys, but Blu ray its the future like i or not, Sony did a great move by puttin this format in this gen.

UMD was in the PSP! That's the present buddy. And Sony and Columbia can kick and scream all they want, it isn't going to put HDTVs in homes fast enough to let Blu-ray deliver the PS3.

Because the market is firstly so niche (ie, the market of people with HDTVs looking for a Blu-ray player) that it won't make a very big impact at all, and secondly, because it is very likely there will be cheaper Blu-ray players (cheaper than the PS3) out during this generation.

I do all the time considering my dvd player has a hd upscaler and can play hd-dvds, i can also download files off my computer onto the 250gb hdd and watch them off it on my HDTV in any format including Hd-formats! You lose my vote in this thread infamousC.

Firstly you don't know how it will effect PS3 in the long run. HDTV sales are on the rise. "It's likely that their will be cheaper players then the PS3" when there are none now? Blu Ray player prices will fall but PS3s price won't?

People who own HDTVs are in the stark minority, and will be so for several years to come. The reasons for that are stated above in my post you just quoted. Thus, Blu-ray can't help the PS3, the PS3 has to help itself. It's not a hard concept to cope with, why are you having such trouble.

you know, no matter how much we debate it, we aren't going to agree. so all im going to say is with due time we will see who is right and wrong. i remember when their were xbox fanboys saying ps3 is going to fail cuz it cost 600 (people still say that) and it has blu-ray.. and still the ps3 is able to outsell the 360 with its higher price in the same time frame (read 1up recent npd post)...

Howcan it not help the PS3? If people buy an HDTV and want a cheap HD Blu Ray player they can get the PS3 so how can it not help the PS3?

InfamousC

Because the market is firstly so niche (ie, the market of people with HDTVs looking for a Blu-ray player) that it won't make a very big impact at all, and secondly, because it is very likely there will be cheaper Blu-ray players (cheaper than the PS3) out during this generation.

Ah I see now...Your logic ftl

Explain the flaws in my logic then please.

Firstly you don't know how it will effect PS3 in the long run. HDTV sales are on the rise. "It's likely that their will be cheaper players then the PS3" when there are none now? Blu Ray prices will fall but PS3s price won't?

I don't, and neither do you, that's why I am reasoning with logic. It's extremely unlikely Blu-ray adoption rates will outpace HDTV adoption rates, and HDTVs are unlikely to become standard in ownership until 2010-2012. That's going to be quite late in this generation. As for the second point, the PS3 is not expected to receive a price drop until 2008 according to Sony. I find it very hard to believe in the world of electronics Blu-ray will not become more price accessible by that point. Of course, my other point was, by the time HDTVs are numerous enough in households to help the PS3, it's very likely stand alone players will be cheaper, thus removing any benefit.

[QUOTE="Puckhog04"]DVD's are still outselling both on a massive scale. Ps3Solider

Your point?

Do i really need to explain this?

Read the rest of the thread, sheesh.

Yes you do. I have read the rest of the thread and non of the bashers have made a valid point.

Read all the posts next time.

"a) there was no competition with the succession to DVD, it was a consumer driven transition, opposed to a corporate pushed transition we're facing now
b) DVDs provided a revolutionary form and function, not only were audio and visual quality better, you could pause, skip and escape primitive VHS ****navigation. HD formats do not provide the same jump
c) DVDs required no other adoptive technologies. HD formats require the extremely expensive HDTVs.

So it's a smaller jump, that requires more of consumers, it's not the same situation."

I'm not making any such claim. I'm not even saying that the PS3 won't come first this generation; it's entirely possible it will. I'm saying if it does come first, it'll be due to the games and the brand, not the Blu-ray.

So blu ray wins, PS3 wins! HD DVD its loosin bad, and blu ray will b the only format out there with DVD,. so people will buy the cheapest blu ray player in the market, and bling bling, PS3 $600 VS $1200

 

Ps3 will win.

PabbssPS3

 

How is HD-DVD losing bad when Bluray has only sold a couple thousand more movies?  I guess PS3 is dead since Xbox 360 has sold 10's of millions more games?!

agreed. but remember sony isn't concentrating on being the winner for the next 5 years... they're aiming for the next 10 this time. and dont you agree by then we will have games that will be implementing more then 10gigs. if anything history proves that games are only getting bigger not the other way around (look at mass effect creators who already have stated that their games barely fits on the dvd9 and this is only 1-2 years into this gen)

Remember when people said oblivion would be a whole lot of DVDS? Mass Effect is pretty much pushing the boundaries like oblivion did, but with the right compression tools and coding you can do anything. (Within hardware limitations)

What people tend to forget is, that even if you have a HD monitor, when you rent a movie, the vast vast majority, if not only format you can rent right now is DVD.

The average consumer will start to take the leap into a format within 2 to 4 years, when their "BlockBuster" has HD titles to rent in abundance.  Until then, the HD wars are rather insignificant to the average consumer.  Thus, a console lifecycle typically runs 5 to 6 years, by that time, it will be too late for the expensive PS3.

Sony made a huge mistake "console wise" with BluRay, but in the HD-DVD/BluRay war, they sacrfieced their console to push the format war into BluRay's favour.

How did Bluray kill HD-DVD?  Bluray has sold at most  5,000 more movies then HD-DVD in North America.

HD-DVD is dead because Bluray has sold a few thousand more movies?  

 

I guess that means PS3 is dead since Xbox 360 has sold like 30-40 million more games?

DVD's are still outselling both on a massive scale. Puckhog04
And the PS2 is still outselling the 360 and PS3, what's your point? Cheaper stuff will always outsell more expensive stuff. And you can't overlook the MASSIVE base of DVD players around.

Lol at ignorant fanboys. Why do you think Sony upgraded from Cartages? Nintendo sticking to cartages, shoot them selfs in the foot. If blu ray wins Microsoft will have to use It on the next console it produces which means royalties to sony. Sorry fanboys

Exactly, as long as Sdvds sell, Blu-ray won't save the PS3, rather it'll kill it

VHS, WAS OUTSEELIN THE DVD, AND LOOK HOW IT TURNED OUT!!! OFF COURSE DVD ITS OUTSELLIN BLUE RAY, BUT GIVE IT TIME.

Sigh, your like the 100th person to use this flawed analogy. Here's why it's flawed. a) there was no competition with the succession to DVD, it was a consumer driven transition, opposed to a corporate pushed transition we're facing now b) DVDs provided a revolutionary form and function, not only were audio and visual quality better, you could pause, skip and escape primitive VHS style navigation. HD formats do not provide the same jump c) DVDs required no other adoptive technologies. HD formats require the extremely expensive HDTVs. So it's a smaller jump, that requires more of consumers, it's not the same situation.

AMEN!!!!! blu Ray might as well have been called "UMD take 2"

Wow get your facts straight. Sony does not own Blu-Ray, They are just the largest supporter of the format. They would not get any royalties from another company using it.
