The member you refer to did not say that all the fence sitters will run out and purchase hardware/software. This is a statement you produced.

What I meant to say is in my post - the fact that Criterion will enter the market will certainly have an effect. A widespread effect(s) in fact: from psychological (raising BR awareness amongst consumers who up to this point may not have been enticed by the majors and their output) to promotional (giving confidence to other smaller distribs who may have not been certain about the format's future progression). If your perception about effect is limited only to immediate hardware/software spikes in sales then that is an altogether different issue. I believe Drexl's post clarifies precisely that.

Fine.
