Blu-ray Disc: One million served

Posted on April 24, 2007 7:15 AM by Rob Williams

The Blu-ray vs HD DVD format war reaches another milestone, with sales of Blu-ray Discs reaching more than one million sold since the format launched less than a year ago. According to Home Media Research, Blu-ray locked up 70% of high-definition movies sales in the first quarter of 2007 (832,530 to 359,300), and account for seven of the top ten best-selling high-def movies.

Sony execs can’t stop gloating over their decision to include Blu-ray with their Playstation 3. It certainly aided in their global domination. HD-DVD still has a chance to catch up, especially given Wal-Marts recent order for two million HD-DVD players.
