Paramount made roughly $1.5 Billion last year. The best selling HD discs (300) have only sold a couple hundred thousand copies. Only a few broke 100,000. Some sell in the tens of thousands, but many don't even sell 1,000 discs.Remember:
DVD=99%
BD=0.6%
HD DVD=0.4%From the beginning to the end of July, there have only been 3.7 Million discs sold by both formats combined (2.2M BD, 1.5M HD DVD).
We aren't talking big bucks here. Paramount may have given up the equivalent of pocket change now, for bigger gains down the road (cheaper replication costs, better infrastructure etc.). Time will tell if they were right.
