Notes

1. Thanks to highdefdigest forum member CochiseGuy for first finding and posting this article.

2. The figures for the first three quarters came from Home Media Research (Q1, Q2, Q3). The figures for the fourth quarter come from the Redhill Group. Note that Judith McCourt, formerly Director Sales and Marketing for Home Media Research, now works at the Redhill Group, so it is very likely that she took her spreadsheets along with her.

3. Figures from the Redhill Group. These figures are higher than the Nielsen VideoScan figures leaked, and like the Home Media Research figures in the past, in all likelihood include sales outside Nielsen coverage.

4. These figures have been calculated from the aggregate sales figures listed above, and disaggregated using Nielsen VideoScan ratios.
