Ole - would you accept figures from a HD-DVD adoption survey?

Posted by chris.redmond2@bushinternet.com on January 5, 2008 at 14:34:12:
"PS3 Blu-ray currently outsells Xbox 360 HD-DVD 9 to 1."

What does that mean?

Is it comparing sales of PS3 to sales of Xbox plus HD-DVD drive?
If so it's meaningless as PS3 purchasers get their BluRay drive for free!

"A recent Blu-ray Disc adoption survey shows that 87% of PS3 users watch Blu-ray movies, 80% of PS3 users have purchased Blu-ray movies and 82% intend to purchase or rent Blu-ray movies."

If PS3 buyers get free BluRay discs of course they'll watch them, and who exactly took part in the survey?

I'd imagine that only those who were interested in BluRay would bother filling in any survey about BluRay, and the statement that BluRay was outselling by just two to one when PS3s are outselling Xbox 360s by nine to one could suggest Xbox owners are buying more high-rez titles than PS3 owners.

There's lies, damn lies and statistics, and anything to do with Sony is on an even lower level. :0)
