Well, it can be spun for good news, ...this week. But what about next?

Those figures are based on specific popular titles (Spiderman, esp., which wasn't released in HD-DVD) that given week. On weeks when popular titles from Paramount and Dreamworks come out that are only released on HD those numbers will probably shift again, especially now that so many HD players are being sold at rock bottom prices. M'thinks that the poll you've referenced is a bit skewed (I don't see the trend suggested by the numbers), but that is a subjective opinion as well.

The numbers mean little to me with all the exclusive content for both formats. I don't think they mean much outside of titles released on both formats. Is Potter the next blockbuster coming to both formats?

  ...especially for the 5 movie sets (both formats).

- LOL! How true, and to add insult to injury I just read an article with comments... - Audiophilander 22:14:19 11/11/07 (1)
  ... linked to the AVS forum which suggests that those figures may be grossly padded! If so, shame on SONY for the deception.
  - Carefully read the interesting comments and discussion below the article: (Open in New Window)
  - Yes, interesting comments - Jack G 04:32:26 11/12/07 (0)
    Lets also not forget, that Walmart is not part of the Nielson/Videoscan numbers. While that was never a big deal in the past since they were a minor player, they seem to have a bigger interest now.
