[QUOTE="Jack-Napier"][QUOTE="tango90101"][QUOTE="Jack-Napier"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] It matters not. In the US, Blu-Ray is winning. In Europe, HD-DVD is killing Blu-Ray.
Meaning: We are most likely stuck in a confusing, pointless format war that could have been avoided if Toshiba and Sony got together and ironed their differences out. I hope both formats fail to eclipse DVD to set a future precedence to future formats.

look at the top 20 best selling HD movies, most are bluray. they are bundling 4 or 5 movies with hddvd players to get more movies out there, and the hddvd add on pirece was almost cut in half at walmart cus they arent moving. i find it kinda weird they would cut the price of the add on cus it was selling so badly then they go out and buy millions of hddvd players.hd dvd players are oustelling bluray players 4 to 1 in North America.
the individual movie sales mean little at this point.
it's about getting the player into the homes.
link ? and last time i checked ps3 was a bluray player and a major factor in why BD movies are selling 9 to 2 over HD1. standalone players.
2. a gaming console has never dicated the outcome of a format, so the ps3 doesn't really count, due largely because it's a game console so it's purchase doesn't necessarily equate to movie sales.
3. the speculation is that the ps3 has helped bluray sales, but speculation is all there is at this point.
you have no idea what you are talking about, people only count standalone cus it helps their cause but the truth is ps3 is the cheapest bluray player out there. and when the ps3 was released and started selling, bluray movie sales jumped and are still higher than hddvd despite the hddvd day spike.
