so far SONY PS3 is the only product selling in millions. And it has not sold millions of blu ray movies.
Follow Ups:
Not so with these HD players. Folks don't have what they need let alone buying another receiver (if they have one to begin with) to take advantage of the bigger sound quality.
The sound argument, usually given by BD fanboys, doesn't wash. Most people that jump into HD will do so for the picture. Sound will be secondary. If they already have 5.1 then they already know how to hook things up. If they have stereo, then they'll do that. If they have nothing, then they won't bother, HDMI carries picture and sound to the TV. Contrary to popular beleif, they will not be intimidated by the options, they will just opt not to use them. HDTVs do come with speakers.
On the flip side, sales clucks will be pushing new receivers that take HDMI input. Also this fall, look for Onkyo to bundle its new HD DVD player with their new HT receivers.
Just some random thoughts...

Folks didn't need anything more than they already had for a connection of the DVD player to their TV.
It is interesting that there is a format war so to speak with prices this early in the game with so few people involved.

You don't feel the intent is for a title to only be released just in HD format in the future? I guess that will be the telling factor, to see if it can/will supplant DVD.
I don't know if SACD ever planned to ever try to supplant CD per se but pretty much now all know that isn't going to happen. However, some (but very few labels) are now issuing only the hybrid upon release instead of both the CD and SACD title.
.
And with an attatchment rate of less than 1, the PS3 isn't selling alot of movies, as you say. Add the fact that there is now, world wide, about 1/2 the number of PS3s that Sony claimed they would sell by last Christmas (in the US), and you have a major dud. If you look at the fact that BD stand alone players aren't selling worth a damn, then you realize, that BD is little more than a movie format for the PS3.
And still, the specs aren't finalized.
The word incompetent comes to mind.
