That is the point. Ever noticed that there were not any real BR advertisements until after the PS3 was released. Then people said that most PS3 users will not buy blu ray. That was proven false because the next report was that an average 6 or more BR movies were purchased by PS3 owners. Ever since launch the ratio of blu ray to hd vdv movies has been higher for blu ray. In less than three months the year lead that HD-DVD had was erased and now blu ray outsells hd-dvd. This isn't just a short spurt nor a temporary achievment because not only has blu ray outsold dvd the ratio has climbed instead of dropped.
The strongest signs are the release schedules

Call it hype but I will call it a reality. No Fox and disney aren't backing down. Sales for blu ray top HD-DVD 3 to 1. The release list is nearly 2 to 3 times larger for blu ray and is backed by every motion picture studio in hollywood except for 2.
Please tell me how you can see this is a good thing for HD-DVD.
See your twisting things too.. Blu Ray sales top HD DVD 3:1 IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY Total Video sales the two are neck and neck.
And where am I saying that's a good thing..
It would be like if I ended this post with..." Please tell me why your a Sony Drone "
200gig BD is due this fall.
Blue -ray is already the victor.
It has 95% ADOPTION In JAPAN.
It would top HD sales in MARCH and onwards too.
HD-DVD was released 3 months prior to BD.
BD has the most support till date
www.bluray.com .
BD has much better protection .
Storage is the thing to compare :
200gig vs 60 gig (at best)
UMD and BD are not the same.
UMD was targetted at niche.........was there any standalone UMD players?? NO
HD has no support from the big movie moguls except UNIVERSAL.
a $299 BD player is going to be released in a couple of months. Even at 1000$ standalone BD players are outselling the 400$ HD-DVD players (20 000 :13000).
Ps3 would be the winner in console battle no doubt. The good sign is that most ps3 owners have purchased multiple BD movies. the European BD market gets a boost too on 23rd march. although SONY plans to give 500k CASINO ROYALE copies to the 1st 500k subscribers gamers showed an increasing interest towards purchasing other BD movies in terms of pre-orders.
