Guys, I understand you'll never be convinced that BD is any more than a niche product, but it's a bit disingenuous to try to compare the 1Q09 BD sales to the combined HD optical disc player sales in 1Q08. HD-DVD was already DOA in the first quarter of 2008 and all retailers were dumping their remaining players at fire sale prices. That's not a sustainable business model.
I'm not totally sold that BD is going to be as mainstream as DVD is, but I'm also not ruling it out at this point either. It definitely seems to be getting a little bit of traction.
