One side of the disc debate definitely not cancelling their press conference is the Blu-ray Disc Association.

Stuart liveblogged the event so if you want the nitty-gritty, head over there.

Here's the main points:


In 2007, Blu-ray sold 64% of total HD discs, compared to 36% HD DVD (Home Media Research figures).
Globally, Blu-ray took 66% disc sales, and 65% of hardware (including PS3).
1/2 million Blu-ray players and 3m PS3s on the market.
2 million Blu-ray players and 4 million PS3s to be sold in 2008.
5 million Blu-ray discs sold in 2007 (US market).
40 million Blu-ray discs to be sold in 2008.
Need to keep reminding people that PS3 is a Blu-ray player, not just a games console.
Next phase: developing the interactive features of Blu-ray.
PS3 to PSP Blu-ray film transfer function coming end of year.
Aim going forward to 'establish the inevitability of Blu-ray'
80% of US consumers know the Blu-ray brand now, compared to 25% in Christmas 2006.
