Blu-ray vs HD DVD sales graph shows the winner - Blu-ray Forum

Meziter · 08-24-2007, 09:40 AM

Hi

I have been looking for some realistic stats to compare Blu-Ray to HDDVD sales which I believe will in the end determine the winner. I am a Blu-Ray fan and would love to see them win.

I complied a graph of the Nielson/VideoScan weekly sales figures from which it is easy to see where the market is going. I will try and update every week.

Enjoy

Great work Meziter!

A nice easy way of seeing the results.

I would recommend changing the colour over though of the BR and HD DVD weeks. Red for HD DVD and blue for Blu-ray... just to make it that bit more easy to read.

But great stuff mate, keep it coming!

HD DVD - FAIL

I hope the corrupted minds see that...

XanderAE · 08-24-2007, 10:45 AM

BLUtiful!

Great graph. While it is comforting to our sore blu eyes, HD-DVD still has an annoyingly strong presence.

Very nice chart illustrating BluRay's dominance. But I don't think the executives at GE/Universal and Viacom/Paramount can read this, perhaps something in braille may be more appropriate.

GE/Universal, they don't care.

Viacom/Paramount, they would believe anything as long as you give them enough $$

Hey, be nice to a new member, and say welcome.

@meziter: Welcome on-board!!!
And thanks for the graph. BTW, do you include the last one from today? BD is 71% this week

BluDrew · 08-24-2007, 04:29 PM

Very nice! But let's have a look at that chart again in 6 months time to see if there is any change in the trend. With all that happened this week the chart as it is, is now irrelevant.

They were all probably snoring through out statistics classes in college

Meziter · 09-21-2007, 01:43 PM

Updated graph again today

Joe Cain · 09-21-2007, 01:58 PM

So this is week 37? That's a pretty picture.

glenn22 · 09-21-2007, 02:01 PM

Nice job! I've been looking for information this detailed for a long long time. I'm too lazy to make my own graph.

E-Dogg · 09-21-2007, 02:06 PM

We are continously outselling HD-DVD and I expect that trend to continue even more so over the holiday season. I think our numbers will be much higher than they are now and the gap will continue to widen showing us on top of course.

good work, keep it up

great to see how blu ray has been beating hd dvd since its release, lets hope it stays that way

Even with the new numbers it is still an uncomfortably close race. That isn't saying much for blu-ray when there are fewer HD-DVD players and even fewer movies available. Something is not right here. HD-DVD sales seem even stronger though the player sales are diminishing.

We all expect to make great gains for Christmas, well, so will HD-DVD. As I said before, the majority of people will wait to adopt and DVD will enjoy another win. This war hurts everyone!

I'm not sure how you can be so disappointed when blu has honestly put nothing on the market movie-wise is ages. What could you possibly expect? To me this is clearly setting up to be a 4Q whitewashing as big movies come out.

In that light, I see your point. They are saving the power move for Christmas. But so will Toshiba and their minions. (Aren't minions little onions?

)

A bigger blu selection and more popular movies will make this a great golden quarter for blu. But I still envision ignorant masses standing around in the stores asking, "Where is Transformers for blu-ray? Is it sold out? When will you get more?"

I'm going to settle on the DVD version, but ONLY if it is a Christmas gift. Not spending my money on that crap anymore.
