Nope . . . Sony is not going insane. They are above genius level . . . off the scale. . . make Albert Einstein look like a moron.
They are focused on the ultimate prize of all time. And here it is:
$277 BILLION DOLLARS
And that should end all the discussions about why we have a format war and why Sony and the BDA is trying by ANY means to convinve the public that Blu-Ray Disc is the best thing to happen to mankind since the invention of fire . . .and the wheel.
That $277 Billion dollars is the amount of money that will be spent over the next 10 years on "DVD" format. As opposed to $98 billion for box office sales of the movies used to make "DVDs."
Want to buy a plasma TV - 8 manufacturers (not real #)
Want to buy an LCD TV - 20 manufacturers (not real #)
Want to buy an HD Disc movie - 2 manufacturers
Impossible to take over Plasma or LCD - too much competiton
Very easy to take over HD Disc - just get rid of 1 competitor.
And you call Sony/BDA crazy?
If it becomes a BD universe . . . they keep it all.
