A bold statement? Many people never thought that DVD would take over from the might of VHS and that was a harder sell in the first place, at least with Blu-ray when you upgrade your player you can still watch all your DVDs, and they will probably look better with a good player with upscaling.
Sales for Blu-ray are increasing fast, the latest figures for the US show that in the first quarter of 2010 (January – March) there was a 68.5% year on year increase amounting to over $330 million in Blu-ray sales.
Blu-ray accounted for 12.3% of packaged media in the same quarter (packaged media meaning not digital distribution) which is a big increase on the 7% from this time last year.
It looks like Blu-ray will be here to stay in the immediate future at least, Sony must be happy, as should the future of the Playstation 3, its a decent and affordable player that also has the added bonus of being able to play games!
