Nielsen VideoScan for week ended March 11:
SI, Blu-ray:HD-DVD
100:89.25
YTD, Blu-ray:HD-DVD
100:47.37
This gives us an estimated weekly sales ratio of 100:23 and a significant drop in number of sold discs per week on both formats but especially for HD-DVD.
These numbers are the first numbers that include the week of the Amazon 50%-off sale. They do not include any sales of Casino Royale which was released March 13.
It looks like no released titles really meant no disc sales or Nielsen VideoScan does not get the Amazon sales numbers from Amazon. I have seen one source (pcmag.com) that claim that Walmarts sales numbers are not included. Walmart didn't think it gave them any advantages to provide sales numbers to Nielsen VideoScan. Is it the same for Amazon?
