DVD players killing new formats......

This is related to my other thread about DVD-A but is a seperate point for discussion.
DVD players are selling (and have sold)like hotcakes here in the UK-it's the same worldwide.
My argument is this,we need the general public to buy the new formats (SACD,DVD-A) otherwise the record companies and manufacturers will just ignore them and continue to focus on normal CD releases.
Now if you are the average Joe,why after buying a machine that plays movies in a new improved format and plays CD's at a level your happy with-why are you going to buy a new machine in the next 5 years?,especially since you just bought that nice new widescreen TV as well.
Have the big companies blown the new formats by giving the masses a new improved format (for movies) and re-confirmed the strength of CD's?

The guys making the dvd machines need to get dvd-A in them at a price the average Joe can afford.They might not get the guy with the new machine but the format will be around when he needs another one if they get them out there before to long.
My belief is a Machine that does it all dvd/dvd/a/cd/sacd for 299.00 us.It wont be audiophile quality but at least people can start buying the software.
