Could anybody venture a quess about DVD-R/DVD+R disc manufacturer sales rankings?
TOP 5 most sold discs (based on manufacturer, not brand name)?
Top 5 most sold quality discs (based on manufacturer, not brand name)?
If you venture a guess, can you detail which market are you basing your guesses on (USA, CA, North America in General, Central Europe, UK, Nordic, India, China, etc)?
I'm sure the mfg top5 will have some variance based on continent/market.
Also, if you can, try to exclude the obvious fakes from your guesses (i.e. fake TYs dont count towards real TY sales :).
Also, if anybody has some hard 3rd party reliable data on this, I'd really appreciate a link (been looking myself, but haven't found any).
Thanks!
PS My guesses based on very rough understanding of the Finnish market:
TOP 5 most sold (may not be absolute order, but all in top 5 by my guess)
- Ritek
- Princo
- Moser Baer
- CMC
- Prodisc
TOP 5 quality most sold (may not be absolute order, but all in top 5 by my guess)
- Taiyo Yuden
- Mitsubishi Chemical Co
- Ricoh
- Maxell
- TDK
The above is pretty much a guess, based on availability, pricing, forum posts and what people seem to be talking about. There is no hard data available for the Finnish market.
Please don't take offence about my ordering of "quality" and "other" manufacturers. That's just my take and I'm open for debate on that one as well. Furthermore, I'm not implying dichotomically that the "other" manufacturers are "crap". Just that I don't consider them amongst the most trustworthy/consistently best quality Top5 myself.
