 Nine out of the top Ten selling titles are on Blu-Ray.

Spiderman 3 debuts with the second highest first week sales of any HD movie, behind only 300. Spiderman 3 is also the second highest selling Blu-Ray film, selling 130,000 behind 300's 170,000. This is because the Trilogy is counted as a seperate SKU from Spiderman 3 itself, so the sales of the two are not combined.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@Kirby: A hell of a lot more. :P



true,why don't we compare them also with dvd?

Because then there'd be nothing to quarrel over as both formats would have maybe 2%. I say, why face reality? :P

kitler53...everytime I see your avatar I almost .... damn thats hot.



No real surprise, Spiderman was always going to tilt things back towards BluRay.

But unless we are genuinely interested in tracking charts (BluRay titles vrs HD-DVD) - which I doubt we are - its becoming more pointless by the day to compare. Both formats are now certainly here to stay.

I predict you'll see a lot more studios start going dual-format soon. It would be interesting to see how well something like Spiderman sells on HD-DVD (or Transformers on BluRay). Its just becoming a brand/marketing issue.
