Assuming just fourty players per Walmart at say, 3000 stores (accepting that not all had stock), you have 90,000 players sold this weekend. Now recognise that there are probably far MORE than that as ripper mentioned that the store he went to had three times the stock. ON TOP OF THIS Best Buy is reported to have matched Walmart's offer whenever presented with it. In effect, HD DVD may have just added over a third to its userbase in one weekend, further increasing its standalone advantage. And on top of this their is evidence that HD DVD is far outselling Blu Ray on the laptop front.
Blu ray is going nowhere soon, but neither is HD DVD.
