I have been touting Blu-ray and the replacement for DVD in the video world for a while and although there’s still a ways to go, it looks like that premonition is quickly turning more into a reality. Based on a recent article from CDRinfo (http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/News/Details.aspx?NewsId=28635), studies show that even with increases in the digital distribution of video content, Blu-ray integration continues to make significant headway in the market. In the US alone the sales of Blu-ray content is up 80% and Blu-ray players increased more than 100% compared to sales from the previous year.
The economic crisis which began in 2008, most likely played a big factor in slowing the conversion from DVD to Blu-ray, but recent data seems to point to Blu-ray rising this year with continued substantial growth still to come.
