Comment on Windows 11 could actually become the same kind of mistake Sony made with the PS3

Blu-ray appears to have presided over the premium segment of the video-disc market just as it went down the tubes entirely. These days you can buy used DVDs 2 for $0.99, and Blu-Ray for $1.99 each - super 4x premium market they’ve cornered there.

Them being cheap means nothing in reference to the quality… and is also a function of winning the war.

If consumers went with HDDVD you would be saying the same thing about them. Price is a function of production and corps aren’t going to produce a tech en masse consumers don’t want.

  Them being cheap means consumers no longer value them - which is what the wars are all about: value translated to sales and profits. Price is a function of what consumers will pay, which has little or nothing to do with what a thing costs to make.

  Absolutely. BluRay was Captain of the Titanic, and is going down with the whole physical media ship. Vinyl LPs are the lifeboats.
