APRIL 19 | Blu-ray Disc sales continued to outpace rival HD DVD in March, something HD DVD backers say will continue until later in the year when a wave of cheaper players and big summer sequels reach disc.
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s Casino Royale was the top Blu-ray seller in the month, surpassing 59,000 units, according to studio sources. (Sony has said it shipped 100,000 units of the title to retail.)
Warner Home Video’s The Departed held its place as the top-selling HD DVD title, selling 16,000 units in March, surpassing the 13,000 it sold in February, sources said.
HD DVD backers blame Blu-ray’s lead partly on the release slate. HD DVD didn’t have any new releases until the end of the month when Universal Studios Home Entertainment’s Children of Men and Warner’s Happy Feet debuted. Blu-ray backers have counted on having a larger release slate since launch and promoted it as an edge over HD DVD..........
More than 1 million Blu-ray movies had been sold through April, studios say.
