> You’ve kind of contradicted yourself. You say Sony has the marketing muscle but then that Blu-ray is not familiar. If Sony does a good job of marketing then people will start asking for what they know…Blu-ray.

No amount of marketing can overcome general ignorance of technology instantly. Some people still call DVDs/CDs tapes, some people call any network DSL.

That said it’s pretty much split it’s hard to guarantee which side will win.
