Nice blu-ray's market share keeps going up and up with more and more releases. And these big releases are helping out a bunch. I hope Blu-ray can make it to 12% this holiday.

And I'll leave the naysayers to someone else.

Blu-Ray doesn't have 12% market share. Are you instead referring to those rosy "market share among top Blu-Ray movies" figures?

 

 

The majority of sales come from those "top movies", so what's your point?

A movie like Transformers can sell 8.3 million the first week, and all those movies in the $5 bin hardly compare.

I'm not very informed about the DVD vs Blu-Ray battle, but I don't think those figures are from "top movies". If I remember correctly they're actually from "top Blu-Ray movies".

It's like someone taking the best-selling multiplat PS3 titles and calculating PS3's market share vs the 360 from there.
