*IF* the music industry is at all interested in selling

afaik, it's already true *now*
i don't know the current numbers,
but my hunch is that BD and HD-DVD
players already outnumber by at least
a 2-to-1 factor (maybe even more
than that)
Absolutely not true.
In terms of current sales, or in terms of units in service, there is simply
no comparison between the number of traditional DVD players, and the numbers
of Blu Ray and HD-CD players.
I know of only one Blu Ray player that any of my friends have. No HD-CD
players at all.
everyone will have DVD players that can play them
(unlike SACD and DVD-A).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
agreed
Eventually.
most people don't know that SACD exists,
and of course even if you tell them
about it, they're not about to spend
the typical extra 100+ dollars to get
a player that can handle something called
SACD and DVD-A
Didn't happen.
and when you ask a store sales person
if they have any SACD disks, what you
get is a blank stare
Pretty much. Or you will be directed to a single disc disply of many dozens
in the store, and that single display will be thinly stocked.
