So with declining DVD sales, of course NOW is the time to get the alternatives up and running and to support them. Blu-ray is getting the support and they want to see results, as it would prove their strategy successful.
Why people are sometimes clinging to the words of companies exec's and take them at face value, i don't know. If they say, Blu-ray will replace DVD in three years: everyone calls b.s. (rightly so)

Lee Stewart is still waiting on that SRT DVD player in 2008...cause Nishida said so....

Niko - reasonable interpretation is not allowed here. mikemorel is a troll.
The likes of Lee Stewart, mikemorel, etc. all have some inherent hatred, and seem to be sooo incredibly bitter that they are incapable of rational analysis. They are blinded by hate.
Maybe you and I can talk - why did Kornblau say he was bullish?
Quite a stark contrast:
-Sanders is do or die
-Kornblau is bullish
Why such opposite ends of the spectrum? Also - ever heard the crying baby gets the milk? Squeakywheel gets the grease? Maybe thats why WB always complains - they want something...
