| must buy a BD player just for this reason |
 |
| Very good news for the domestic anime market. I'm still quite worried about the shrinking population and aging demographic situation, but for now at least it looks like the anime industry is doing fairly well. |
| The combined sale of those two is like ;AAAAA; Well, probably got to thanks the various BD versions of Live Tours (namely Nana, Yukarin and Minorin) |
tehnominator said: They should probably thank the otaku, Bakemonogatari and K-ON! for that. haha proably yeah, and also for those haruhi fans who keep buying endless eight DVD |
| That's good. Must buy a PS3 now! |
| the pies look yummy :D and holy shit that's a lot of blu rays O_o also...brealdown lol |
 |
| Good thing I am planning on buying a blu-Ray player |
| Yummy BD. I have yet to buy anything called BD and it doesn't look like I will this year. Hopefully next year. I'm not sure this success will continue. A lot of the BD sales this year must have been people upgrading their DVDs to BDs and that won't continue forever. Here's hoping I'm wrong. |
| I'm happy Aniplex is doing so good. Good animation seems to finally be rewarded with Bluray. |
| damn must buy ps3 |
| All thanks to Bakemonogatari. Go aniplex! |
| Sale of more PS3s recently mean Blu-Ray sales is due to improve again next year. Blu-ray is really 2 years into its lifespan, and is all ready set to take over the industry. |

Detective said: who doesn't have a ps3 now?!rolddy said: damn must buy ps3 Haha same here. I'll wait for English Anime Blu-Ray's though. |
 |
| one has to remember though that the retail price for BD is 10 dollars more or the JP equivalent. that also has a large effect on the sales number. unless they are talking about units sold. iday12 said: Detective said: who doesn't have a ps3 now?!rolddy said: damn must buy ps3 Haha same here.
