It’s official: Sony has announced that ‘Casino Royale’ on Blu-ray is the first high-def disc title to ship over 100,000 units. ‘Royale’ has been breaking records ever since its Blu-ray debut on March 13 — as we’ve previously reported, it was the first high-def disc to crack the top ten on Amazon’s overall DVD best sellers list, and it easily topped Nielsen VideoScan’s Blu-ray chart its first week out.
Thanks to this, Blu-ray is even surpassing the DVDs performance when it was first released. Sony has a reason to be proud of their format now, although I’d be interested in knowing how many HD-DVD copies were shipped as well.
