Currently (as of 01/02/2008) from top 100 Amazon DVD sales 48 are BD, 4 HD-DVD and 48 are normal DVDs. What happened? Does Amazon do the counting differently now? Top 5 best selling DVDs on Amazon are all BD, and from top 25, 16 are BD (compared to 9 DVDs).

If this is not a sign of BD dominance, I don't know what is.

Regards.

Amazon's sales rank is a (amazingly) poor represtation of sales ...

I agree Happy Squrriel, Amazon really has no say whatsoever in video game sales.

Also, there is a huge blu-ray sale which completely skews the results.

Even if they don't represent the bigger piece of the sales pie, its still amazing the Blu has majority of the sales compared to even DVD. But who cares

Those who buy on Amazon are more likely to be tech savvy

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!! Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)
