Forrester Predicts Sony's Blu-ray Will Win DVD Format WarAuthored by Mark Hefflinger on October 19, 2005 - 10:22am.
Cambridge, Mass. - Market research firm Forrester Research on Wednesday predicted that Sony's Blu-ray Disc format will win the looming next-generation DVD format war with Toshiba, which has developed the rival HD DVD format. "Two groups are competing for control of high-definition DVD formats to be launched in spring 2006. After a long and tedious run up to the launch, it is now clear to Forrester that the Sony-led Blu-ray format will win," Forrester analyst Ted Schadler said in a report released on Wednesday. Backers of Sony's Blu-ray include Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Pioneer, LG, Dell, HP and Apple, in addition to movie studios Sony, Fox, Disney and Paramount -- which recently became the first studio to announce support for both formats. Companies that have pledged support for HD DVD include Sanyo, NEC, and entertainment firms HBO, New Line Cinema, Universal, Warner and Paramount. "Unless the HD-DVD group abandons the field, it will be another two years before consumers are confident enough of the winner to think about buying a new format DVD player. In the meantime, they will expand their video-on-demand (VOD), downloadable video, and Internet video habits," added Schadler.
