Heavens fall

Sonys BD player delayed until late Oct!! /2006/06/21/sony-bdp-s1-blu-ray-player-really-is-delayed-october-25/comments My oh my what a turn of events. Toshibas going to get quit a lead by the time BD players are shipping in quantity. Not to much of a lead if they only sell 10, 000-12, 000 units. See this They peg Toshiba units sold at 10, 0 Not going to garner anyone supremacy in the HD market. We are still clearly in an early adoption market and will be well into next year. So dont get to excited there Murch. No they didnt peg anything. The quote is Toshiba wont say how many players it has shipped, but sources peg the initial rollout at about 10, 000 units. Since heavens fall source was unnamed this is basically hearsay. Tough week for you guys. Suck it ll be ok. : No they didnt peg anything. The quote is Since the source was unnamed this is basically hearsay. Tough week for you guys. Suck it ll be ok. : Indeed, it has been a tough week for Blu-ray. I know Blu-ray will be OK, especially when they become the next HD format. ; No they didnt peg anything. Since the source was unnamed this is basically hearsay. Tough week for you guys. Suck it ll be ok. : And yet, if the sales figures were good, dont you think Toshiba would be yelling them from the highest mountaintop? I think it says something that Toshiba wants to keep that figure under wraps. For someone who claims to be format-agnostic, you sure do take glee in any misstep Blu-ray takes. Youd better hope youre not wrong, because nobody here will ever let you live it down. Not to mention your little gloating with I won round one. Sounds an awful lot like shock and awe to me, and I think we all know how well that campaign has turned out in the years since. And we dont have to hide our distaste for HD-DVD, either, since we dont go around claiming, well be okay with whichever one wins. Toshiba is an old school conservative Japanese company. Their policy is that they dont release results. I do indeed take glee in Blu-Ray missteps. Im growing weary of the constant proprietary formats that Sony pushes. I like minidisc and bought a home player and portable. I liked the idea of like everything Sony has to have their own format complete with gonzo royalties and they always find a way to screw it up. Toshiba is a company that doesnt embody the ego of a Sony but they do a damn good job with their products. Their solution was elegant enough and met the heavens fall of Hollywood.
