It took 10 months to sell the first million movies. It took 3 months to sell the 2nd million movies. Now it only takes one month to sell a million Blu Ray movies.
Sales of consumer items normally follow the S curve, and when you have sales rising that steeply inside the 1st year, the mass market penetration can be predicted to happen quickly.
Follow Ups:
If I wanted this type of hype, I'd visit Bluray.com. This is ridiculous.
It is not hype, it is facts, but you just do not like the facts.
How the hell do you know that I don't like the facts??????? I own a PS3 and have quite the Blu-ray collection. I also own an HD DVD player and enjoy it very much. Your 'in-your-face' "facts" are insulting and continue to portray Blu-ray supporters as crazy fanboys. Your "facts" belong at Bluray.com, not a website such as this. AVS Forum just went through a house cleaning to get rid of people like you that do nothing but initiate arguments about the format war.
Do yourself a favor buddy, go buy yourself an HD DVD player and become format neutral. It might relieve some of the other deficiencies you may be suffering from.
I will buy a HD DVD player for my collection and some HD DVD discs, that are important for me, when they have a closeout sale near me. And use it together with the Blu Ray discs on my Panasonic projector.
Just like I have bought:
an Otari 10" open reel 1/2 track tapemcahine for my mastertape copies,
a Tandberg 1/4 track machine for my older tapes.
a MSB/Pioneer Laserdisc player for my laserdisc collection,
a Philips SACD 1000 player for my SACD collection,
a JVC DVD Audio player for my DVD Audio collection,
a Pioneer DVD player for my DVD movie collection,
a JVC Super VHS HiFi for my VHS tapes
a Sony Betamax HiFi for my Beta video tape collection,
a Harman Kardon Dolby B/C casette deck for my few casettetapes
a dbx noise reduction for dbx tapes.
many CD players for my CD collection,
a Michell Hydralic Reference LP player for my LP collection.
I also bought an iPod using it with lossless for holidays,
and I have harddisks with my entire CD collection, which I play from my PC.
As you can see, I have most formats and many brands, but not the SONY minidisk :-)
Live or dead formats does not matter to me, as long as I have the software I like. I am not much of a SONY fanboy, my only SONY product today is a 36" tube TV.
To me the software is central, and USD 200 for a player does not matter much. Most of my machines I bought early, when they cost USD 2000 or more. Often the early machines are build to be long lasting.
I just present links, which nobody else seem to present.
The links are out there, and I suggest you present some other links.
As many pro (as in propaganda) Blu-ray posts as you and Jazz contribute, both of you guys give advocacy a bad name. Suggestion: Quit grandstanding and take a more even handed approach, like Oscar. He is pretty much a Blu-ray advocate on principle, but his posts are fair and non-judgmental. You could learn something from him.
I've seen lots of pro-HD news items, but have only posted a few of the more newsworthy ones; occasionally I'll even post something that favors Blu-ray or a unified format approach via dual format players.
You & Jazz, OTOH, apparently do friggin' Google searches to sniff out any pro-Blu-ray propaganda just so you can toss it like a hand grenade into this forum. Fortunately for the rest of us, you two tru-Blu Einsteins usually forget to pull the pin, but when all of the stars are aligned and you do remember, the news either ends up being a dud or you throw the pin and mr. grenade blows up in your own faces. ;0)
Cheers,
AuPh
so please accuse me correctly, one per day is not enough for a true blu blooded cheerleader :-)
... and end up with the Partridge Family on Blu-ray under your tree! ;0)
Cheers,

The S curve predict, that it will hold hold up. These sales curves are well researched. So from a few very early numbers, the rest of the curve can predicted. Like when will 50% of the population own Blu Ray movies.
Nice photo :-)
I don't believe Blu-ray has achieved the mass market penetration/economies of scale (yet) to make that a reality for hardware sales in support of software sales. I'm also not convinced (yet) that Blu-Ray 50G production is ready to support a massive hike in software sales demand.
and the early production limits seems gone.
SONY is now close to 1 million Blu Ray players pr month. That does give economies of scale.
Sharp claim, that they will be the leading maker of players. They sell OEM.
google can edit it
