The numbers are usually easy to find but I cant find any for the week die hard launched. two weeks ago I think or for any weeks since then.

 Anyone have any information on this?

HMM have delayed their usuall Friday release to today due to Black Friday. Should be available tonight.

The newest Nielsen ( last fridays) says that BD was 66%, and HD-DVD at 34%. Keep in mind that Nielsen is always 2 weeks old, but this is the newest figures available.

That it explains it thanks.

It came out this morning actually, here is the link:

So even though Shrek 3 dominates sales for the two hd formats blu ray still won 66-34?

66-34 isn't nearly dominant enough to win a format war, especially at the miniscule numbers we're talking about.  For a format to win, we need two things:

(1) full studio support for that format.  Niether has this

(2) Significant sales -- right now, there are occationally high sales for blockbuster high def discs, but typically the sales are a tiny fraction of total video sales 

Until then, one format selling twice as much as the other doesn't mean a hell of a lot.  Especially since very few regular people are even aware that regular DVD isn't high definition.

more ps3 owners = more potential blu-ray customers. even if the person didnt buy it for that purpose, they may still purchase because they have the feature anyway.

DOATS1,

I completely agree with you but remember HD DVD (100-200$) player are cheaper than BR player (400$).
It may be (or not) an ultimate weapon on the HD DVD side

Oh.

I used the word dominating because that article used it and I thought it was funny.
