But while abstract ratios and percentages like these have been bandied about for several months now, the Sony report goes one step further, providing the first public release of hard sales figures for HD DVD and Blu-ray discs from Nielsen VideoScan, the home entertainment industry's leading source for competitive sales data.
Among the numbers revealed: as of March 18, VideoScan put the cumulative number of Blu-ray titles sold since the format's inception at 844,000 units, versus HD DVD at 708,600.

I doubt you'll see Microsoft Release a blu-ray friendly player simply because it would mean an alliance with Sony. Plus, to say that the blu ray is doing considerably better than the hd-dvd is false. Above is results of industry research released by none-other than Sony itself. We see that HD DVD is only 100,000 units since the inception of eaches format. Microsoft in 2010 should be something fun to see.
