Digitimes is reporting that Pioneer has revised its 2006 DVD recorder shipment goal downwards.

The new target is almost 10% lower than actual sales for 2005.

This is causing concern for budget recorder manufacturers, fearing the premature demise of the DVD recorder in the face of the Blu-Ray and HD-DVD launches.

What this fear doesn't consider is that so far only players are available in the new formats and DVD will continue to be the pre-eminent recording medium for some time to come.
