TG Daily: Warner's 300 smashes high-def disc sales records - Blu-ray Forum

Blu-Ray for the win!

" The Blu-ray version of 300 has outsold the HD DVD version by a margin of around two-to-one, which is the same for most dual-format releases to date. Blu-ray movie sales on whole are outperforming the competing format by a margin of around four-to-one. "

Wow, four to one! Isn't that the magic number Warner wants to see to become blu-ray exclusive?

Looks like we are getting a late Christmas present, to say the least.

buckshot · 10-17-2007, 07:17 PM

4-1. all thanks to those of us willing to lay our wallets on the alter of blu and put our relationships on the line. I like it.

LynxFX · 10-17-2007, 07:20 PM

Four to one? Are they saying that there have been 4 times as many blu-ray discs sold total as HD DVD discs sold? That would be a great increase from the last total disc numbers which had BD at 1.7m discs and HD at 1m or something around there.

Wonder what theory hd dvd fanboy will put on this one.

atomik kinder · 10-17-2007, 07:38 PM

400,000 copies on BD? I thought it was 400,000 combined, yet the article says nearly 500,000 combined. No wonder 300 was on top for so many weeks.

Four to one is clearly inconsistent with the Nielsen SI data. Perhaps it is a worldwide number?

Teazle · 10-17-2007, 07:43 PM

Perhaps it means 4:1 for Warner titles only? (In context of discussion of 300)

It has to be the worldwide number.

talbers23 · 10-17-2007, 07:48 PM

love blu-ray as much as the next on this site, but i dont believe the 4 to 1, at least not in the US. 4 to 1 may be true world wide. everyone should know, i am happy to see numbers like this, just want to know what exactly they relate to.

Not all retailers provide their numbers to Nielsen. WM, for instance, does not. I also don't believe they count worldwide numbers.

u_nick · 10-17-2007, 08:16 PM

no matter the numbers, i like that they dont even bother wasting their time with the name HDDVD and just call it 'the competing format'. Ouch.

I agree, HDDUD is not worthy enough to be in the same sentence as Blu-ray.

helli3yte · 10-18-2007, 12:00 AM

aint it the truth

davidPS3 · 10-18-2007, 12:14 AM

You have to admit, it will be interesting to see what the Red Side has to say on this one. Can only imagine the spin they put on it or if they even acknowledge it at all.

1. As clarified already Nielsen DOES NOT monitor all retailers.

2. It is highly unlikely that the numbers mentioned entail worldwide distribution. If they do I would like to see a source confirming the origin of the data.
