Blu-ray Doubled HD-DVD Sales Between Q1 – Q3

We just posted about Toshiba’s latest HD-DVD feat, but according to Home Media Research, Blu-ray outpaced HD-DVD by a huge margin between January 1 – September 30 of this year. While Blu-ray sold 2.4 million titles, HD-DVD lagged behind selling only 60% as many, at 1.4 million. Still, as mentioned earlier, it’s still far too early to declare an actual winner, especially considering how good this month has been to Toshiba.

This announcement, which indicates an almost 2 to 1 ratio of Blu-ray sales to HD-DVD, was a bit of a killjoy for the HD-DVD camp who were thrilled by the record setting success of Transformers on HD DVD, chronicled here at DailyTech.
