Bracke Still a Fanboy in Denial - Blu-ray Forum

Although one week's data does not necessarily indicate a trend, Blu-ray's stronger-than-ever disc sales lead for the week would seem to suggest that even record-low HD DVD player prices (and record-high HD DVD player sales) may not be enough to balance out the "PS3 Effect" on Blu-ray sales -- especially amidst a recent resurgence in sales for the game console.

Of course, there are other factors at work here as well. As HD DVD supporters have been quick to point out, last week saw a total of ten major studio Blu-ray releases (including 'Live Free or Die Hard' and 'Hairspray', versus only two on HD DVD (including 'Star Trek: The Original Series - Season One').

Dude..What happened to the great HD-DVD player sales? Isn't HD-DVD's attach rate through the roof? Didn't Toshiba just announce player sales of 750,000? What did all that amount to? 27% in sales. @-holes.

I know, I saw this and laughed at his first sentence, that the week's data does not necessarily indicate a trend? Huh? Open your eyes, Blu-ray has been dominating all year!

Imagine if Video Scan did include Wal*Mart's numbers! What with their big secret sale and the better selection of Blu, the tilt could have been maybe 4-1. I know I bought a couple of discs while I was waiting for my son to get his PS3 and 10 free.

I have never seen anyone even looking at HD-DVD discs in my WM. I'd say that with my family alone, we're beating them 2-1 because my son is neutral (he gets it from his mother).

He is what's called a "but" monkey. Great news for BD, BUT let me give you some spin from the other side.
