In Six Years HD Opticals Disc Will Rule

A Californian research firm has bodly claimed that by 2012 high definition DVD discs will have a higher market share than SD DVDs. They also say that by 2009 high definition DVD revenue will grow to $2.6 billion.

The company goes on to say that Blu Ray and HD DVD sales will account for 13.6pc of video sell through revenue this year!53.7pc in 2012 and 68.7pc in 2015 with $18 billion in revenue.

Our opinion is that these crystal ball gazers have forgotten the onslaught of online distribution which is just about to hit with companies like Apple with iTV at the forefront. PVRs have proved that consumers quite enjoy downloading content to hard drives and as hard drives get bigger and consequently cheaper more downloading will stay on the drive and not be moved off to video or DVD-Rs

iTunes for HD movies is months away...
