This was discussed here a few months ago here:
Why did SACD, DVD-A, and Blu-ray fail as music surround formats?
I don't mean to sound so harsh, but Steve Guttenberg should look at his own life and figure out why
he is a failure. A poorly written hit piece gleamed from info gathered here. This blogger and his voice is no more or less valid than any of ours. I'm tired of no nothing "geek losers" not adding anything to the conversation, but sticking jabs to create "fake controversy's" to gain attention to themselves. Am I right about this or not?
As for formats and "success" and blah, blah, don't blame the consumer, blame the Record Companies heads who don't know how to sell music in the 21st Century. SACD and DVD-A, BR are doing fine and still alive no thanks to the major labels. You don't put out product for machines that won't play them, pull the rug out on those that
did buy, and then blame the consumer for "Not Buying." Oh, and don't forget to not advertise so no one will know about the products either.
