Maybe these paid optimist guys just haven’t noticed consumer spending falling by record lows or unemployment reaching 14yr highs.

One point that analysts don’t seem to have picked up on is the effect of granny factor on disc sales. A significant proportion of presents for children, teenagers and those in their 20s (who are more likely to ask for the latest technology) are bought by older people (such as grandparents) who may not be as familiar with the technology.

The economy is in free-fall, all around the world.

The last thing anyone (sane) is thinking about is an expensive new video format.
There is no way Blu-ray is set for mass-adoption this X-Mas.

There is just the small matter of the credit crunch and the attendant recession/slump.

Funny how Donohue’s point seems to be being made as this post devolved from discussing goodness for goodness’ sake vs religion demading that you be good, to gay rights and gay bashing, violent content and freewheeling epithets. I always thought of myself as a fun loving atheist. Can’t we all just get along?

This is kind of funny, if somewhat sadly delusional.

Forget all the facts about how you need (at normal viewing distances) a huge HD TV to even see 1080p or how you need an expensive high-end audio set-up (speaker package as well as receiver) to even hear the better audio on offer.

Wake up.
