Only a few titles are selling really well in either format

Posted by Jack G on December 4, 2007 at 12:25:09:
Few are breaking 100,000. Some in the tens of thousands, most in the thousands. Its the new releases that are doing better, older catalog titles aren't doing so hot. Oddly, the biggest reason studios are in HD, is to resell their older titles to us. They are already making lots of money off of new releases on DVD, but older stuff sold on HD is like free money to them. I wonder if the strategy of aiming at the gamer crowd is going to backfire on them, and cause them to rethink things.
