No surpise here. Bad movies = poor sales. Stefano was wise to to get out. lukeford.com --- AVN's Male Performer of the Year, Michael Stefano, has sold off his interests in Platinum X Pictures, and has moved on to Red Light District Video. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Stefano and I'm just curious why this has yet to hit any of the adult news sites. One of the few directors you can build a company around, I'd like to wish him the best of luck and continued success.

I wonder how the rest of the crew responded to this.

Yeah Zen, but it seems like Brandon is a good sport anyway. What I want to know is why Brandon said this "It's should be no surprise to anyone that Red Light District moves more product than Platinum X Pictures.". Is it just because RLD has been around longer or what?They have a bigger fan base? I used to buy all of RLD stuff when they first came out too but now I am more picky and make my purchases/rentals not based upon the company but rather the performers and directors. For a while RLD was the hottest thing around but I don't think they are ahead of the pack anymore- IMHO.

PXP will still be one of the top adult companies in my opinion because they produce some of the finest hardcore shit out there. When they stop doing that, then we'll talk.
I agree, and I like PXP as well as RLD.

Sad to see the old group parting ways though...
The sad thing is 2 of the top 3 are now gone. Manuel Ferrara, Michael Stefano....is Brandon Irons next? I hope not.
