I Told You So: Blu-Ray Edition

17 years

As I predicted about 14 million times in the past, Blu-Ray has overtaken HD-DVD on a number of levels. Sony has released reports that show the following:

  • Blu-ray has surpassed HD-DVD in cumulative sales

  • Blu-ray titles outsold HD-DVD titles by more than a two-to-one margin during the first week of January (47.14 HD DVD titles for every 100 Blu-ray titles)

  • Blu-ray titles outsold HD-DVD titles closer to three-to-one during the second week of the month (38.36 HD-DVD titles for every 100 Blu-ray titles)
    The catalyst that drove up Blu-Ray sales? The Playstation 3. Looks like Sony might be playing its game right after all. Wait until the end of 2007 and you’ll see a huge increase in Playstation 3 and Blu-Ray sales. You heard it here first, remember that.
