Sony says standalone Blu-ray players are outselling HD DVD players


During the Sony press conference yesterday at CEDIA , Sony put up some charts to show how starting about 12 weeks stand-alone Blu-ray players were outselling HD DVD. They tribute this to the release of the $499 BDP-S300, but we're not so sure about that. Assuming the numbers are indeed true, we don't suppose the announcement of Toshiba's 3rd generation players would have anything to do with it, not to mention the fact that none of our local Best Buy stores even have the HD-A2 in stock. But what we really want to know is, who is buying all these Blu-ray players, with Profile 1.1 right around the corner?
