Blu-ray Disc Sales Surpass HD DVD


Lee

Recommended Posts

Data from Nielsen indicates that sales of Blu-ray media for the first time has outpaced that of HD DVD; however, as expected, both camps in the high-definition format war have different ways of interpreting the data.

For the week of February 18, Blu-ray sold 100 units for every 98.71 units of HD DVD. That culminates a several week period where sales of the disc format began to catch up to HD DVD after nearly a year of slow sales.

they use the same laser. so yes. blue ray of sony death needs a red laser also to play the old (cough) dvd movies.

this story is also base on ps3 increasing the numbers. just because a ps3 was bought doesnt mean a blue ray movie will be. i didnt play dvd movies on my xbox nor ps2.
