If the 2 were so fundamentally different that it isnt possible to have a double format player (read: Betamax, VHS, Super8, Video2000, Laserdisc) then there would be a true format war, which would be won by the more convenient and less expensive tech, or whichever is the first to have a home recording option. Universal players lead to stalemate, universal players will be made = This will be a slow war. Theres also the issue over if most people really want to upgrade from DVD to a new format. The upgrade from VHS to DVD was taken by most people because DVD didnt look like moving sandpaper AND was a more convenient format to actually use. If most poeple are happy with their DVD quality, especially since so few poeple own HDTV or projector setups compared to how many own dvd players, then uptake in general is going to be slow. I see nothing but losers in this tech war, whatever the results. |
