I *think* the numbers are US, but that is most of global anyway. The numbers are both formats combined, where applicable. Unlike most, Planet Earth has sold more on HD DVD by quite a bit.
HD DVD had a slump in Q1,where it didn't put out very many titles, that it never really recovered from.
As for sales estimates, I would'nt worry about them. Last year Sony predicted 6 Million PS3s would be sold by last Christmas, and right now there are 3 M woldwide(2m in US). At least Toshiba is honest about it.
Sales have been alot slower than anyone would have predicted, on both sides. A year after starting, and there has been no real growth in HD sales. This "war" is going very slowly, and I suspect both formats will be around for quite a while.
The low numbers speak for themselves.
When the top seller is only 100,000 for both formats together, sales are pathetic.
