Come on this is done, its finish, let HD die with what little dignity it has left.

No more Blu-Ray/HD threads needed.

Well it not done yet.

Toshiba is still managing to try and fight back, they are not going to go that easily.

Unless either Paramount or Universal decide to switch to Blu-Ray of Toshiba stops making HD-DVD altogether, we be seeing alot more of this kind of news.

Either way, HD-DVD is dying a slow a painful death.

are u living in this world or another planet?

BD outsells HD DVD 85:15 in NA

BD outsells HD DVD 87:13 in EU

BD outsells HD DVD 98:2 in JAPAN

war was over at the very beginning . Whats worse for Toshiba is the fact that BD standalone players even started outselling their HD DVD players 2:1 in USA (doesnt take ps3 into account)

was there ever really a war? It was finished ages ago

Find it and post it up.

I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise

We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.

Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.

it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.

This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
