Number of discs sold:
If you look at the figure 1.2 million for bluray and 937,500 for hddvd so far, To me its still too close to call...
It's even closer, considering that the latest HD DVD sales figures are now at 998,000.
What I don't get is why observers are making such a big deal out of 1.2 million discs, when this figure, if placed in a proper perspective, is a dismally insignificant number.
Take UMD, for example. How many movie discs has this format sold?
Well, the latest stat I can find on the net was released way back in 2005, claiming a sales figure of
8.2 milion copies of UMD movies.
More than 8.2 million copies later, most people still don't even know what the hell a UMD is. That's how insignificant 8.2 million discs are. But for Blu-ray fanboys, a measly 1.2 million copies sold and they think the war is over.
