Sony most popular DVD recorder brand

Lite-On and Plextor are both second. Read more here: http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/10355

Hm, seems a little lop-sided since they have HP DVD-Burners listed seperately as well. HP burners are normally NEC drives so really NEC could be put up for about 10% of the market as well with Plextor.

Still interesting that Sony/Lite-On take the top 2 spots. I would've leaned more towards Lite-on. Of course I didn't see this voting poll when it was up or I'd have to put my pick in for HP/NEC.

It's a survey of the brands, not manufacturers. All first-generation and second-generation HP drives were manufactured by Ricoh, not NEC so you can't really say HP burners are normally NEC because only some of the current HP drives are made by NEC simply because NEC gave HP the lowest price.

Plextor did receive 10% but it doesn't reflect the market share at all because the question was not about what to buy or whom to buy from. The survey result doesn't mean it's good or bad or worth US$100 or US$1,000. Also, the result would have been much different if it were conducted here and not there. Personally, I think the main page visitiors tend to be less biased than the forum visitors though some of the former group also belong to the latter group.
