We've heard the argument
before. For whatever reason you may have, there seems to be a widespread reluctance to purchase the UMD movies that
Sony bragged about in the beginning. Because of this, they're going to cut back on the production of the movie format.
While comedies seem to be the best-sellers, average sales fall at about 50,000 copies.The Variety story points to pirates as one reason why this may be the case. But who really wants to purchase an extra copy of a movie they may already own just to watch it on the PSP? Wouldn't it be better if TV DVD players could somehow support the UMD format? Of course a price drop couldn't hurt either.
