Sir T.,

The books and links I posted deal with statistics and their reliability. You can dismiss my comments for being too broad all you want, but then with the same token I can dismiss yours for being too specific. This dogged focus on official figures only prevent seeing the forest for the trees. It's like they tell you in driver's ed, don't just look at the road right in front of your car. Your information about this topic is so focussed on those sales figures that you apparently can't fathom that there are other factors involved in determining the winner in this war. This format war does not exist in a vacuum as much as that would simplify things for some people, it's just not the way things are.

And don't even sit there and tell me that no one here has been calling a winner. As a matter of fact, Pixel has done nothing but. Look, I'm not going to sit here and debate this point for point forever. I do have a life. You want to see the world through tunnels, then you might find that you end up being wrong more often than you like.

I'll give you this, if in a year or two we find that BR wins out, I will admit it, but if VOD/Downloads marginalize BR and HD/DVD, I expect you to do the same. If that happens, I'll be sure to include a few links and articles making the comparison with the SACD-DVD-A format war, because you & I both know there'll be plenti of them.
