This taken from the Retail Insider an insiders magazine for Best Buy employees:

But I thought ps3 owners don't care about movies?

Why are you rolling your eyes in your own thread?


If you think PS3 owners don't care about movies that would be a gross misgeneralization.

Those guys are going to look very stupid for not doing their due diligence before publishing those 'facts'.

rolling my eyes to be sarcastic obviously.

Let's take these articles in stride. No need to gloat. Let's not turn this into the HD DVD forum. Superiority complexes are sooo 1-7-07 to 1-14-07

great news for blu-ray, and proof that HD-DVD biased sites like dvdwars are way off on total retail sales where Blu-ray is winning!

Sarcasm is for weak communicators and that's not you Brian.


I happen to think that article is spot on. There are so many solid titles now popping up for Blu-ray the numbers jump instantly when they open for pre-order. I'm seeing the same happen for HD DVD as well. Consumers are enjoying the HD they're getting and coming back for more.


Like popcorn in a popper the good stuff is beginning to pop with more frequency. Some day we'll be lost in the cacaphony of new movie releases.

WTF, they're holding Wii's until Jan 21st... and Saw 3 is coming out the same day.

This blurb is only parrotting the BDA's CES tub-thumping. It does say "CES News", after all.

 

[AmigoHD]

No problem at all. Most of HD DVD owners bought the last recent films when they were coming out.


Same situation as with the sales ranks on amazon. Batman Begins i.e. were out a long time before. And most of us bought it then.


So, no news to me. Says nothing abouts sales.

Sadly, Best Buy aren't

Considering the PS3 has 1.5 million installs around the world, I would hardly consider their current performance anything to write home about.

So maybe it's not BB employee's showing their fan boy side for blu-ray. They just getting mis-information in their internal literature and they're just repeating it to customers. That explains why they get so upset when they're being corrected. They're thinking "But I got a leaflet, what do you know?".

 

[plazman]

Is this a well known or trusted publication? just curious.

Its the internal Best Buy circular to let their employees know what is happening with the company.

Good catch it does actually read as a recap of CES talking points.

 

[RAVEN56706]

CES probably got what they heard from the Blu Ray camp..... those arrogant guys said alot but arent showing alot...

It is, the sales are specific to Best Buy though

Mis-information? I'm sure that BB has no motive to lie and they would know what their own sales are!
