Reuters' quoted figures and data are are usually extremely accurate regarding news.
HD DVD did have a little headstart which may introduce a little difficulty comparing timeframes (i.e. DVD vs Blu-Ray timeframe or DVD vs HD DVD + Blu-Ray timeframe). A few months difference can make a huge impact if the timeframe picked lacks the PS3 launch in important regions or if the one timeframe includes a holiday season and the other doesn't etc.
Like I said the quoted data in your link leaves far too much to be clarified. Thus IMO it cannot be used a reliable source, at least not without the potential of misrepresentation and misinformation. The Reuters quote is quite clear, like can be expected from them.
Current projections are that Blu-Ray will be adopted slightly faster than DVD, analists think within 6 years on the market Blu-Ray disc will outsell DVD. That would be a great performance, VHS took much longer to be mass adopted at such volume.
