A fair assessment for sure, but he misses one important fact:

Posted by Audiophilander on January 5, 2008 at 01:44:59:
The dropping of prices below $100 and free movie deals was the real incentive for Joe Public to get on board the high resolution express. Collective yawn or not, folks woke up and took notice of those jaw dropping HD-DVD player sales on Black Friday. These folks just got left high and dry by Warner's belated announcement.

Furthermore, all of those who just got stiffed by Warner's decision after buying an HD-DVD player over the holidays as well as those still sitting on the sidelines aren't going to be so easily talked into ponying up hundreds of dollars more for a Blu-ray only player anytime in the near future.

In regard to the PS3 game-boy purchasers, I still suspect that the majority of those folks aren't serious movie buffs/collectors. If they're into games, that's probably the primary function for which those units will be used.

I mean no disrespect to the article or it's author, but I see this from a slightly different perspective. Of course, I could be mistaken and everyone's mileage varies.

Cheers,
