Pioneer and Panasonic take the Plasma market, not Sony. Pioneer owns the high end market of plasma, middle end is held by lower tier pioneers, higher end panasonics, toshibas, hitachi's, lg's and philips. Low end is held by lower tier Panasonics and Vizio.

Samsung and Toshiba own the DVD player market, not Sony. Samsung and Toshiba sell more HD-DVD players than Blueray players. Upconvert section of the market is owned by Oppo, Toshiba, Denon and Philips.

Onyko and Yamaha have been bending Sony over for years in the home theatre arena. I could go on and on and on and on and on. Ive been in the home theatre business for 20 yrs.

Ill take HD DVD any day over Blueray. Sony's day of trying to set proprietary hardware as standard has ended. If you want to argue factual information on this subject, meet me over on AVSFORUM for some skoolin'... Your fanboism is secreting from your joints. Senseless trying to convince a fanboy that Sony is sinking.
haltech, how about that bet?
are you in?

also, last time i checked the avsforums quite a lot of people liked and BOUGHT sony's XBR series. Be it their LCD or LCOS sets.
