Blu-ray Discs beating HD DVDs
03 Jul 2007 14:44
If Blu-ray Discs and HD DVDs worked together in an office, Blu-ray would have his feet up on the managing director's desk while HD made the coffee.That's according to Joseph Taylor, executive vice president of Panasonic Corporation of North America, who believes that Blu-ray has come up trumps in the battle for supreme HD disc format.
In a recent interview with Twice, Mr Taylor - who was appointed to his post in April this year - revealed that he believes Blu-ray has most certainly marched miles ahead of its competitor, noting that both movie studios and consumers are increasingly opting for the format.
He told the magazine: "I think the battle is over. I think that Blu-ray has won. And you may say, 'What's the basis of that?' Well, some so-called experts have already made that same comment.
"For me there are two determining factors: Who did the content providers select? At the moment, overwhelmingly, the content providers have selected Blu ray. What are consumers buying? Since the beginning of this year the content has almost been two to one for Blu-ray. There may be some noise for a little while, but in the end I think Blu-ray will be the technology that wins this battle."
