Called it: Format Wars

I knew the folding of Toshiba was too good to be simply losing the market. And that Blu-Ray is nothing but a holdover for soft-copies of media. So I gloated about it.

Back in January I wrote (“Blu-Ray ”wins”“) about Blu-Ray becoming the winner of the HD disc format. Basically I said two things which have now been said by the MSM:

Downloads and soft-media are going to takeover, making Blu-Ray’s “victory” an attempt to lock people in before it’s too late.
It was the result of under-the-table deals like this one.

(Other deals include Sony paying media companies hundreds of millions to go Blu-Ray exclusively, etc.) So, I was right for once. Hurray. Since I’m on a roll with this prediction/sooth-saying stuff, I’m going ahead and laying out my next prediction: … wait for it … Harmonicas are making a comeback… this time digital. Expect major news to break in the next 48 to 528 hours announcing new, digital harmonicas. You heard it here first. -Adam
