Do I even need to make the usual snide comment?

*sigh* Here it goes:

"Bu...bu...bu...but Blu Ray is DOOOOMED!"

Hah. Suck it, haters.

MNicholas6291d ago

It has the full backing of movie studios and hardware companies. DVD won't disappear overnight. Just like VHS, it will hang around for a very long time. However, once Blu-Ray has a large enough installed base the movie studios will stop publishing new releases in DVD.

It will probably be atleast three or four more years before that happens. As for VOD, the content and infrastructure won't be there for a very long time.

Remember the time they were all jumping up and down when Universal is going HD-DVD exclusive? They were saying how blu-ray and ps3 are going to fail, and guess who won in the end?

Arnon6290d ago

You 4 realize that no one gives a rats ass about blu-ray sales correct? It's like caring about how well a movie sells on day one.. what the eff is the point. Tell me when a 360 fan said they cared about how Blu-Ray did after HD-DVD.

Good for the Blu ray disc, speaking of Blu ray I should probably pick up a few titles next pay day...

Like any economic downturn, people invest in home entertainment...and after seeing how good Blu--ray looks on an HDTV, it's hard to go back to DVD.

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.

Scissorman14d ago

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.
