Report: 3.5 million 3D Blu-ray discs ‘sold’ in first year, half were bundled with hardware


If we’re seeking during sales total of 3.5 million units in a initial year for a latest laptop, smartphone, or camera, afterwards you competence be impressed. But 3D Blu-ray discs? When half were enclosed in a box with a Blu-ray player? Man, that’s gotta sting. Those numbers have been formed upon an IHS Screen Digest estimate, tallying US sales commencement in Jun of 2010 as good as finale final month, yet most incomparable titles didn’t have their entrance until after in a year. Still, if those formula have been even in a ballpark of central (unreleased) numbers from BD distributors, afterwards things unequivocally aren’t seeking up for 3D. With fewer than 100 titles even accessible upon Blu-ray, however, we’re not unequivocally astounded which discs aren’t just drifting off a shelves. Obviously, as a flourishing series of cinema have been filmed in 3D we’ll see BD pretension accessibility enlarge as well, though with a technology’s muted beginnings over a final year as good as no pointer which consumers have been ready to outlay some-more to welcome which latest dimension, 3D might go on a delayed yield toward a mainstream for a little time to come.
