We all know by now that the high def wars are over right?  But, a new report by Strategy Analyics shows how much growth Blu Ray has in the near future. The report lists that Blu-ray players will be in 30 million homes worldwide by the end of 2008. That number could x4 by 2012. The PS3 will be the main player sold through at least 2009 because of it's gaming capabililty to boot.

This year, analysts expect global Blu-ray sales of just under 19 million units. Of those, 2 million will be PCs, 4 million still costly stand-alone players, and a whopping 13 million gaming consoles. “HD-DVD’s withdrawal leaves the way open for Blu-ray to become a major revenue earner for technology vendors and content owners alike,” wrote principal analyst David Mercer in a release.
