Nine reasons why Blu-ray will succeed

Cnet writes: "We've been seeing a lot of articles lately about Blu-ray's fuzzy future, how it's doomed, and how its success will be shortlived even if it does take off. Well, that may well end up being the case, but we gotta say, from where we're sitting, there's a far greater probability that Blu-ray will do just fine - for a long time. And we're not saying that because we're fanboys or shills for Sony. It's just because a lot of simple market factors point toward it doing just fine. Here are nine reasons why."

1. Digital downloads will not eliminate the need for discs anytime soon.
2. Having one clear standard is a big advantage.
3. Blu-ray isn't going to be replaced by another disc format anytime soon.
4. Prices for large-screen HDTVs will continue to drop.
5. Prices for Blu-ray players will continue to drop.
6. Prices for Blu-ray discs will drop to near DVD price levels.
7. Sony will sell lots of PlayStation 3 game consoles.
8. Sony can't afford to have Blu-ray fail.
9. Sony and its partners will figure out a way to have Blu-ray resonate with the public.

Actually kind of shocked. Sony / PS3 haven't been able to catch a break from C-net lately

This is the #1 reason Blu-ray will succeed.

Progression.

Humanity is based on it. We are smarter, technologically superior. Humans do not stagnate, we adapt, we evolve and we like things that are better than the current things.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle24d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
