1997 349,000 players USD 171 million USD 489.97 average HH 0%
1998 1,079,000 players USD 421 million USD 390,18 average HH 1%
1999 4,079,000 players USD 1,099 million USD 270,00 average HH 5%
2000 8,499,000 players USD 1,713 million USD 201,55 average HH 13%
2001 12,707,000 players USD 2,102 million USD 165 average HH 21%

DVD was then the fastest growing CE product. Still it took 5 years to get 21%. see link
SONY PS2 came in 2000 with DVD player build in.

SONY PS3 have in less than a year done 1,500,000 units. That is more than all DVD players did in first 2 years.

In addition HD DVD have sold 150,000 standalone players and 150,000 for Xbox, and Blu Ray standalone players are at 100,000 units.

So as far as I can see, HD playback in total is doing just fine in USA compared to what DVD did. Mainly due to SONY PS3.

You are correct - Jack G 06:35:38 06/30/07 (5)

Yeah, except the games themselves are blu-ray, the PS store invites blu-ray movie trailer downloads - Jazz Inmate 22:26:34 06/30/07 (4)

That only promotes the idea that BD is just the PS3 movie format. (nt) - Jack G 07:24:51 07/01/07 (3)

At this juncture, such promotion would be far more successful than anything HD-DVD is doing - Jazz Inmate 09:35:13 07/02/07 (2)

Except the stand alones aren't selling - Jack G 09:50:25 07/02/07 (1)

Maybe if they bundle 'em with 10 free BDs...heeheee NT - Jazz Inmate 10:21:03 07/02/07 (0)
