Okay, well, they didn't say those exact words, but Sony is very pleased with the growth of Blu-ray thus far. Now you may be thinking: "well, why would they say otherwise?" and our answer is "because". Aside from the usual statistic of 96% of all hardware sales for HD-formats in Japan are from the Blu-ray family, they also note that the launch in Europe is coming up (as is the launch of Casino Royale on Blu-ray... hopefully you guys will grab that movie with your PS3!). Just as a final stab at the competition, Sony notes that the top five films of last year, as well as the top 11 of 15, were all released exclusively on Blu-ray.Now, we know it's still really early and not a proprietary format and all that, but if you're like me, you're feeling a really positive aura coming from the Blu side of the spectrum (see what I did there? Pretty slick). We're not trying to be rude when we say this, but we'd like to see some HD-DVD progress reports instead of them crossing their arms and complacently saying "Well, Blu-ray is going to lose because it's not good".
