We recently told you that Blu-ray saw tremendous success during the week of Black Friday by having 72.6% of high-definition titles going to the Blu-ray camp, leaving only 27.4% of high-def titles going to HD-DVD.
Reports are now showing that the high definition format is close to hitting the 3 million units sold milestone, one that will create a substantial lead over HD DVD.
The Blu-ray Disc Association is reporting that through the Black Friday period, Blu-ray has sold 2.7 million units from initial launch last year to November 24, 2007. 2 Million of these units come from the PlayStation 3, which can be complimented by the lower priced 40GB unit recently introduced.
This is compared to the 750,000 units of HD-DVD units sold to date, with 250,000 of these coming from the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on. What makes this so appealing is that there are HD DVD units sold as low as USD 99 with the lowest Blu-ray unit going for $399.
“Despite the $99 HD DVD fire sale, Blu-ray movies were flying off the shelves in this crucial holiday shopping period.” says a spokesperson from the NPD Group.
Overall Blu-ray has sold 4 million titles since launch while HD DVD has sold only 2.5 million units. heres the link: http://www.psu.com/Blu-ray-nears-3-million-units-worldwide--a0002077-p0.php
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
