Many use the news to show what we can expect in the next decade. Climate changes, hunger, polution and Blu-ray adoption. The latter is expected by some not to happen and others already expect the format to be adopted by this year's fall. An online poll by Harris Interactive showed that seven out of ten U.S. consumers know that Blu-ray won over Toshiba's HD DVD and a quarter of those waited for the war to end before even thinking of buying one.
Nine in 10 people stated that they owned a standard DVD player, which is surprising if you see that a third of these people own a HDTV. The most shocking outcome must be the consumer's plan for 2008. Only 9% of the non-Blu-ray player owners said they're likely to buy one this year.
The survey shows that Blu-ray can't be called a mainstream product yet.
