Big day for Blu-ray

Blu-ray logoBlu-ray was out in full force today at CES with numerous announcements.
First up, HP announced it's first Blu-ray burner, the BD135. All we know about it is it will ship sometime in the first half of the year.
Second,all of the top Blu-rayers gathered together for their press event held today with representatives from Warner and Disney among others. Their big announcement, victory over HD DVD. How can they make this bold claim?
  1. Only 4 of the top 20 next gen DVDs were HD DVD.
  2. Blu-ray holds 96% of Japan market.
  3. The PS3 seems to be the pillar of confidence for Blu-ray with numerous surveys indicating many plan to use the PS3 as their primary DVD player.
These "facts" sound a bit dubious to me, but it is good to see the association is kicking with confidence. Too bad no one else seems to be enjoying the format war as much as these guys. Check out the full transcript from the event.
