Is it just me or the numbers of Blu-Ray titles sold are getting lower and lower? If it wasn't for I'm Legend, overall sales are extremely poor.
It seems that people really don't want to buy expensive movies and players. If this is how they plan to overtake DVD, well it's gonna take them about 10 years just to come close.
We want $15 movies. That's how you push Blu over DVD. I sure stopped buying $25-$30 movies anymore. It's way too expensive.
Wow, no kidding. After seeing that Blu Ray vs DVD comparison, it really puts it in perspective. Blu ray has a long way to go and so far from "mainstream."
To explain a little further. 26.34% out of 100 one week can be larger than 40% out of 100 in another week.
Since we don't know how much I Am Legend sold we can't say if sales are getting lower or higher - just as 78:22 (BD/HD DVD) doesn't necessarily mean lower BD sales than 84:16.
I hate when people say they need to lower the price of the movies!!! It's not the price of the movies! It's the price of the blu-ray player and HD TV. It doesn't matter if the blu-ray is 25-30 if the TV is $1500 and the player is around $400 the sales of blu-ray will not be that high. People are much more willing to spend $25-$30 on a movie than to spend $1500 and $400 on the equipment. Once 1080p TV's and player drop in price, then we'll see a real grab on DVD's market share. .
I like bluray a lot but, if the number of titles getting sold is getting lower and lower and this week and they made up 8% of all media sales that implies other weeks they sold MORE and 8% of all media.
For them to already be selling near %10 of the big market is pretty amazing already considering that when the Warner announcement happened it was around 2% of sales for HD-DVD and BD combined.
You would have to be a complete and utter moron to interpret a growth from 6% to 8% as "sales getting lower and lower". You used to just be a pain in the ass troll, now you are a pain in the ass troll that can't even reason.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Where do you see that the sales are lower?

No Nfinity, it may just mean I Am Legend is selling disproportionately well. It doesn't mean other disks are selling any less except by comparison.
wow dude, what else is new here.
