Singulus: Blu-ray Adoption Faster than DVD

German optical disc equipment manufacturer Singulus has revealed that, during the first year of dual-layer technology, Blu-ray orders have surpassed that of DVD. For the year after dual-layer DVDs were introduced, Singulus filled orders for 17 machines. One year after dual-layer Blu-rays were released, they are reporting 21 orders.

Singulus feels that this is a clear indication that the Blu-ray format is being adopted faster than DVD during the same period in its life-cycle. As more companies adopt the format, more discs will be put on the market for consumers.

Everyone involved hopes that with the ever-increasing amount of content, more and more consumers will adopt the high definition format.
