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
