Porn fails to block out Blu-Ray in DVD showdown...
It was the Porn Bounce that did it, according to technological legend.
Way back in the great Videotape Format war that is, where VHS beat Betamax to become the de facto tape standard . VHS it seems was taken up by porn producers and this helped establish greater market share by boosting home sales of VHS video recorders…
But come the HD DVD wars, the alleged Porn industry preference for Toshiba’s technical Digital Video Disc standard has failed to outweigh the virtues and market tie-ins for the Blu-ray standard promoted by Sony. Toshiba today withdrew its product from the market – and this boosted its shares as investors registered relief that the company would not be chasing a difficult investment battle.
So we now have de facto one high-definition digital video disc standard for the industry around the world… the market has spoken.
