When Sony showed information about Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD sales numbers, the company also revealed that the numbers where declining. Where at that start of the graph Blu-ray sold about 70.000 units a week, at the end of the graph this was no more than about 30.000 units. While the graph also clearly showed that Blu-ray sold much more than HD-DVD these are quite depressing numbers if you are on either side.
Normally one would expect that emerging technologies would start slow and would slowly build up numbers, therefore the interesting question is, what went wrong and what can explain these declining numbers?
