"The consumer intent to buy HD DVD is still slightly higher than for Blu-ray"

One would have expected a complete turn-around but it appears the Tosh player pricing policy may be blocking BD. If they can maintain this lead there's no reason for U & P to switch sides, in fact with Warner gone, they may increase their sales and we will have HD DVD around for awhile.

Did we read the same article and are we seeing the same Nielsen/NPD numbers?

Let me guess they are all buying their software at walmart...

or "next week" is when itll show up on neilson

After clicking the link I literally laughed out loud. My oh my!

Despite the improvement for Blu-ray, NPD also says that less than 10 percent of consumers say they plan to buy a player in either format in the next six months.

This is the biggest hurdle for either format.

ladies and gentlemen, now that's how you spin an article!

The title of the linked article: "Study: Consumer Interest In Blu-ray Growing"

Did we read the same article
I think so...
The consumer intent to buy HD DVD is still slightly higher than for Blu-ray, but NPD says it has declined since Thanksgiving.
I know that even though I'm purple, I still prefer HD DVD. :)

Ok, so more people say they want HD DVD while vastly more actually buy blu-ray. Got it, talk versus the walk :)

Consumers don't prefer HD-DVD, they intend to buy HD-DVD. They are not the same thing, because unfortunately for Toshiba, those intentions have yet to turn into greater sales than Blu-ray.

If they didn't prefer, why would they intend? They prefer to buy something they dislike?

Dude, we know you love HD DVD with a passion, but try to look at things objectively.

Buy? No. Get it for free? Yes.
