anonymous reader writes "Sony CEO Ryoji Chubachi knows something we
don't. At a press conference, he announced Sony's plan to increase
Blu-ray market share to 50% of all movie discs by the end of the year.
'DVD and BD currently account for about 80% and 20%, respectively, of
global demand for movie discs, Chubachi indicated. The new BD devices
to be offered by Sony include models integrating an HD LCD TV with BD
recording functionality, Chubachi pointed out. Sony has relied mainly
on the PlayStation 3 (PS3) to promote BD, and sales of the game console
will increase along with the offering by top Hollywood studios of new
BD movies, Chubachi noted. However, Sony will extend its BD promotion
from the current focus on the PS3 and BD players/recorders to IT
devices, Chubachi pointed out.'"
