And how many Blu-Ray disks is little Jimmy going to buy,
or is his pocket money going to be spent on games?
As I said above, players do not maketh a format - Media
quality, availability & price does!
Look at UMD, MiniDisc, DVD-A and SACD for examples of
failed formats that had lots of hardware backers (and
even dual format players in the case of SACD/DVD-A)
Most of the manufacturers above also have HD-DVD drives
in the pipeline so no big deal.
I'm backing HD-DVD, but then I backed Betamax, MiniDisc,
Laserdisc and SACD :(
