Re: *** Official HTF HD Formats Comparison Thread

| It's been known all along that the HDM market was small, but how really small the market is, is becoming quite apparent now. The figures posted by 'Jesse', boldly underline this fact. Personally I am really shocked at the disinterest shown by consumers towards HDM. The only conclusion I can some to is that this 'war' is really doing major damage to HDM adoption, ofcourse the quality of titles is not helping much either. |
I really don't think it's the "war". While we know all about it, we aren't regular consumers by any stretch. I think most people aren't aware that HD DVD and BD exist, and those who do probably found out about it with all the recent news about WB. I think for most consumers DVD is good enough. These are people who take thier displays as is right out of the box, use whatever strech mode they can to fill the screen regardless of how bad it looks, think their upconverting DVD player is highdef, etc. One of the big problems is that both formats spent too much time battling each other over their respective advantages and disadvantages, that they forgot to tell J6P that they had arrived.
