    Will prices now come down?

    JoeSP, You are right in general about prices coming down by increased demand in your scenario, but it is not a general rule among all industries, and I don't think you meant it that way. The Chinese were supposed to be flooding the market with HD DVD players at low prices this year. If they...

    Blu-ray, change strategy or lose!

    I think the article is right on. Sony does need to adjust or this is going to change direction. The numbers now don't mean as much as they will as time goes on because sales volumes will continue to rise. If Sony does not make an adjustment and makes the same mistake they did back in the 80s...

    Blu-ray set-top players out-selling HD DVD

    If this is the case, then the battle for supremacy will last for quite a while. It may be 2 or 3 years before this is resolved.
