A German manufacturer of Blu-ray machines, Singulus Technologies, announced that its sales exceed the company's forcasts. With success in the first half of 2008, Singulus now expects more of the second half of this year. In total the company attained 31 orders for Blu-ray lines in this year and now plans on acquiring 65% of the total market.
With more and more rumours of a possible comeback of Toshiba and a revival of the HD DVD format these new forcasts might have a tough time. Of course it's pure logic that Singulus exceeded their expectations since at the start of 2008 the high-def war was still going on and the company made the forecast knowing there was no winner.
After Blu-ray won the war many manufacturers started Blu-ray production, which resulted in higher sales than expected. Now we can expect a tougher time and sales will be influenced by Sony's strategy and a maybe growing competition.
