Singulus reveals uptake of replication hardware is ahead of ‘last-gen’ disc format
Optical disc hardware specialist Singulus has received orders for 21 Blu-Ray dual-layer duplication machines in the first quarter of this year – a faster adoption than of the format’s predeccesor DVD 11 years ago.
"This means that the orders for Blu-ray in the first year of the dual layer technology already by far exceeded the volume at the start of the DVD 11 years ago with 17 machines," said chief financial officer Stefan Baustert.
The stats appear to directly contradict the opinion of Microsoft entertainment president Robbie Bach, who told The San Francisco Chronicle that consumers are not likely to pay extra money for Blu-Ray over DVD.

Numbers ?
Where are the real numbers of BR sales ?
Re: Numbers ?
@Sam: i read BR as Battle Rifle ... i haven't played Halo in months and it still has a hold over me lol.
And yeah i hate this politician style PR crap, the ppl demand transparency, if its doing so well then you wouldn't think twice about showing off its sales numbers.
Re: Re: Numbers ?
If it is doing so well, then how come I do not know anyone in my entire office who has a Blu Ray drive? (except my 2 mates who have PS3's, but I don't count them)
Re: Re: Re: Numbers ?
