who said any thing about Movies!

Blu-Ray as a format had a 3 year lead on HD DVD apr 10 2003 was the first Blu-Ray recorder on sale to the consumer 3 year's prior to even the first HD DVD player even hitting the Market.

You're talking about a Japan only device that cost almost $4000, and didn't even use a finalized BD spec.  Hell, it was released before the BDA even formed, Sony's lucky if they moved even 500 of those things.

HD-DVD players and movies hit market a few months before BD players and movies.  And yes, they were more successful upfront.
