See the dilemma for Sony now? 
What are they going to say in 3 years when SD DVD is STILL the top media for the consumer? They will have boxed themselves into a corner and WILL look foolish. Mark my words! |
Don't lose focus on that prize. Too valuable.
Sony has a VERY good marketing dept. Within 1 year they have managed to convince the public that anything less than TRUE HD (1080P) is not good.
FACT: easier and cheaper for LCD to go 1080P than PDP.
Sony saw an opportunity to convince the public, and at the same time, promote what Sony has to sell (LCD). . . at a far lower price than it's competition (PDP).
How do we tell this has been successful?
1. We see posters here at HDF, all the time use those words "TRUE HD."
2. First Victim - Phillips - will only sell PDP in USA and Australia.
3. Second Victum - PDP manufacturers in general. Sales were up between 100% and 125%
. . . profits were up 2%
Like I said Sony IS crazy . . . crazy like a fox!
