Thanks for that article. Those numbers are similar to what I posted (obviously slightly updated now) previously, and therefore confirm what I said. It is these undeniable facts that HD-DVD people have difficulty swallowing. HD-DVD is now on life support and the holiday season will kill it with the upcoming summer blockbusters exclusive to Blu-ray, the prices falling on hardware, the wider selection of players, mandatory profile 1.1 coming Nov 1st, and the sales lead keeps widening edging closer to that 70/30 every day. The latest Nielsen/Videoscan numbers are in, and in a week that there were 4 BDs (2 exclusive 2 neutral) and 14 hd dvds (9 new exclusives, 2 excl rereleases, and 3 neutrals) BD vs HD DVD sales went from 70/30 to 65/35. Wooop-tee-doo. I guess that's what people consider 'holding their own' these days.
