HD-DVD versus Blu-Ray Sales

According to VideoScan, during the first two weeks of January, Blu-ray discs outsold HD DVD by more than a 2:1 margin. It should be noted that the two weeks in question saw only two new high-def disc releases. More interestingly, VideoScan’s numbers indicate that during the seven days between Jan 7 and Jan 14, Blu-ray managed to close the gap of total discs sold since inception with HD DVD by over seven percentage points, suggesting that if the current trend continues, the two formats could be at disc sales parity within weeks.

All of you Blu-Ray adopters can relax in knowing that the format is not going to die off thanks to the competition, at least right now. Blu-Ray had an evident advantage over HD-DVD during January, although the latter has sold better since inception. At this rate though, Blu-Ray may not need much more time to catch up.
