Blu-ray, HD-DVD Neck-and-Neck

Do those figures include PS3s? 439,000 just doesn't seem right if it does, am I missing something?

Blu-ray, HD-DVD Neck-and-Neck

As the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD war wages on, things continue to look uncertain. While Blu-Ray continues to have support from the larger and more important companies, HD-DVD refuses to let up. Now it's up to the consumer to decide what they want...and early forecasts suggest that the consumer is siding with Blu-Ray. The Nielsen VideoScan tracking data has come in and it shows that Blu-Ray movies are outselling HD-DVD by over a 2:1 margin; in fact, closer to 3:1.

Moreover, the gap doesn't seem to show any signs of widening, possibly predicting a sign of things to come for the movie industry. The numbers for the week ending January 7th demonstrate that for every 47.14 HD-DVDs movies sold, there are 100 Blu-Ray movies sold. But the statistic worsens, as for the following week, ending January 14th, the amount of HD-DVDs sold would be 38.36, for every 100 Blu-Rays sold.

Blu-ray dominated over HD-DVD movie sales during 2 specific weeks in January, but is neck-and-neck when you look at total sales from the launch of each format.

It's simple, really: BluRay kills in advertising, and it's got a lot of big exclusives atm.
I don't think I've ever seen a single HD-DVD ad on TV... at all... but BluRay is on 24/7. That has a massive impact on consumers.

Or maybe it's just my area? But I don't think so...
