In Reply to: DualDisc is slaughtering SACD . In U.S. , 7 Million DualDiscs shipped vs. only 300,000 SACDs shipped . ... posted by ZS KEKL on January 20, 2006 at 12:14:19:
On CD 10,000 is good sell numbers for a classical CD, 60,000 a runaway best seller. However a Rock CD can sell more than 1,000,000.There is very little Rock music on SACD, maybe 3 titles a month. However Classical is a different story, even DVD-Audio only labels such as Arts Music, Tacet and MDG are releasing SACDs as they have better sales numbers for Classical Music than DVD-Audio does.
So if you own a Universal machine you can play your Rock DVD-Audios, DualDiscs and your Classical SACDs.
Because of universal machines there is no war, ZS you may just be our last warrior.
Happy listening,
