No surprise that BD is leading in Japan.Really there isn't any contest there BDA own 90% on the HD market there.

What a surprise - another HD format thread gone awry.

@All
Keep your posts to the topic not personal attacks. Sad that there is only 1 post that is even related to the news article.

What do you not understand from my post above??

Great :)

I wouldn't be supprised to see HD take over SDVD in Japan by the end of this year. Unlike the US, Japan has had HD quality television for quite some time.

its their home market so i think their more aggressive with it over there than here. major electronics like panasonic, sony etc etc etc must have emphasis over there. huge population and all...

Japan kept with Betamax until 2002.

They are always a little, er, 'different' to the other western markets.

unfortunately though Blu-ray has been coming out on top in western markets as well. combine that share of the HDmarket (western) with the dominance seen in Japan, and things are only looking worse for HD-DVD. The US (unfortunately as i live here) is not going to be the only market that decides the outcome here. when you combine the continued dominance of medium sales of the US and other regions, well you get the picture. blu-ray capturing 90% of the player market in Japan, extremely difficult to comeback from that.

there simply is not one region where HD-DVD is leading the way. they are, have, and will always be second best. im not saying that as a "fanboy" yet just looking at all the stats.

Blue-ray, HD-DVD, who cares who wins, i'm surprised people are actually going out buying these things, whats wrong with the quality we have from normal dvd??? I've watched HD film, no biggy, get over it people!

Well as we know blu-ray has played a very aggressive game and it has been paying off for them.
