Thats a good little hold Blu-ray has there, I think we may see the number go up by quite a few during this holiday season.

It's not much but when you think it only started selling a while ago it's pretty good.



So this brings us to the infamous GGE arguement.

She says that Sony will NOT benifit with winning the format.

Is this 6% (and growing) of a 50billion dollar industry worth it?



Kind of a misleading title since it's only the top 20 titles being measured.

Not really. The top 20 are most likely New Releases.... You're going to measure a growth rate by comparing a bargin bin dvd to the blu-ray counter part of it that hasn't been made? Or would it make more sense to compare the new release counter parts?



you take the total sales and its going to be far lower, still only a couple percent. Also naturally new releases will favor blu-ray because they will be more front loaded.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Indeed.  Blu-Ray is seeing faster adoption than DVD did over the same period.  This holiday season should be monster for Blu-Ray sales.

The DVD market is everything. The top 20 is the top 20. I didn't say it was bad, but they are two different things.

Yeah... for some reason I translated "market" for "sales" (which would suit the title better since you can only compare sales of the 2 formats.)
