but we are only using the top 20 titles. Obviously DVD has much better sales throughout the top 20 while blu-ray sales are just heavy on the top few. These numbers more or less prove that and that point doesn't change.

So many people debunked this previously. Makingmusic has already touched on this only slightly in this thread. Go read the other naysayer threads out there so i dont have to repeat other people

When will companies start releasing movies on blu-ray before DVD?

Christmas of '09 Spiderman 4 or xmen 4 will release on blu-ray and no DVD ;)

no he didn't, they are using the top 20 for each format, but within that top 20 blu-ray is obviously front loaded, that's the whole point.

currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Calling other people naysayers is not enough when you don't have any data to back up your assertions.

When I look at the Blu-Ray sales thread, what I see is Blu-Ray has 12% of revenue (I don't know if it's only for top movies or all movies). As we know, Blu-Ray discs are significantly more expensive, so its market share must be significantly below 12%. How much below, that's what I don't know.
