I appreciate the charts but has anyone actually managed to find out exactly what the data criteria is.

Call me old fashioned but my classical education taught me to list all relevant sources underneath the pertinent chart. Otherwise ignore the chart as unreliable.

This chart looks a bit like a classic marketing blindside.

I'll believe the numbers when I know exactly what the numbers mean.

Total revenue for each group.   Blu-ray numbers are total Blu-ray revenue for that week, DVD numbers are total DVD revenue for that week,  and Total Packaged Media is the 2 combined. 

So no marketing blindside or BS, this is the money that these 2 formats are bringing in on a weekly basis.  

So with costs ranging between 50 and 100 percent more per item, BRD is still only pulling in 15 percent of total revenue on a good week.

I feel that BRD may be becoming the reel-to-reel of this generation -- something accepted by the uber high end, but not something that everyone has or wants.

(I realize that is a bit of hyperbole, but it does not appear that DVDs are going anywhere anytime soon).

I also wonder how dual-format sales (by the Blu-Ray, get the DVD included) count.
