Yeah, I've seen this report. Right from the start, their goal seems to be to put down Blu-ray, the PS3 and Sony. If I had to guess, its yet another "study" funded by the DVD Forum.
What many people don't consider is that Blu-ray isn't solely a Sony product. A bunch of companies worked together to develop it. Sony is just one of the biggest supporters. These days, this isn't a good thing as Sony's reputation among techies isn't that great due to them putting rootkits on their music CD's.
IMO studies like this aren't accurate either as people are also more apt to come out and say negative things, especially on the internet. Look at CD Freaks. Every time they have a news post about a Sony product, no matter what it is, a bunch of people will post that Sony sucks and that they'd never buy one of their products due to their music CD fiasco.
