Well seems Sony has something to say about Dualdisc now, and SACD:
"Whereas Springsteen opted to release "Devils & Dust" only on DualDisc, jam-band fave Dave Matthews will release his new album, May 10's "Stand Up," on both DualDisc and standard CD. Labels are taking a cautious approach regarding DualDiscs and whether they will one day replace the CD altogether.
"I don't know if I can make that great statement . . . but it certainly has outperformed other formats" such as mini-disc and Super Audio CD, says Bill Frohlich, co-president of Sony BMG's sales enterprise division. He adds that DualDisc sales have doubled recently, and that several major artists, including Brit-pop band Oasis, are planning DualDisc treatments in the future."
Guess they are a bit happier about Dualdisc then SACD and the sales have been better. Not a good sign for future support from SonyBMG on SACD.
