With the blue-laser format war now over, the battleground for devices and services delivering digital video into consumer households in North America has shifted. The focus now is how Blu-ray Disc (BD) is faring against the incumbent DVD format and other means of delivering digital video content.

This report—formerly titled Quarterly Next Generation DVD and Game Platform Shipment and Forecast Report—addresses the broadened digital video platform landscape by covering both BD and DVD player hardware markets, as well as rise of other digital delivery hardware and services. This report allows clients to track next-gen hardware adoption, the still formidable strength of standard DVD and the progress of newer delivery methods.

The report’s coverage of the major digital video delivery options enables clients in the CE, content and chipset markets to obtain a more comprehensive picture of the choices consumers have for digital video consumption. Clients will also gain a better understanding of how soon they should allocate marketing and development efforts to Blu-ray and/or other means of digital video delivery—and how much they should plan to spend—based on the state of the market.

Along with this expanded view of the products and services that deliver digital video into the home, this report will be a rich mix of market insights, analysis and projections for all platforms.
