Well sure, that's to be expected with no more HD competition and a growing PS3 install base.

My point is the numbers are very skewed. Considering the site we are on, comparing just the top 20 of each feels highly limited and somewhat deceptive.

Even the revenue is just top 20. I can imagine the revenue beyond the top 20 Blu Ray drops rather quickly as unit sales diminish far faster than they would on DVD beyond the top 20.

Don't take it personally though since you're not the one compiling the numbers but Home Media Research seems to be shorting us on data.

It only says unit sales are top 20.

In terms of revenue the latest split was 93%/7%. Seeing as BDs are more expensive than DVDs then revenue must be for the whole market, if it was only the top 20 BD revenue would be over 10%.

That doesn't make any sense.

If the top 20 DVD's sell 22 million units at $20 each = $440 million.
If the top 20 BD's sell 1.8 million units at $25 each = $45 million.

Revenue wise you get close to your 93/7 split.  But, the remaiing DVD sales are likely to be far, far higher than the remaining BD sales which would alter the revenue split well above 93/7.

quit crying about it being only top 20 titles, this is a very informative post and you guys sound like babies.

I sound like a baby because I'm on a highly detailed sales statistics web site debating a metric using just the top 20?   Nice try.   You must be a Blu Ray user assuming I'm bashing the numbers just because Blu Ray is rising.  Now who looks like a baby?
