....
I beleive its also safe to say that BD has sold over 1 million discs this year.

So the approximate numbers this year so far then:
January Week 1 - 299,386
January Week 2 - 321,921
January Week 3 - 199,951
January Week 4 - 177,325
February Week 1 - 147,180

4 weeks of January: 998,583
Total YTD: 1,145,763

Great start.

I think last year the first 5 weeks was around 275k so more than a 400% increase, there is a chart somewhere with the weekly numbers through March for last year which I found a few weeks ago but cant find it now.

Here is that graph...

Seems like it was about 235,000, so yes, 2008 is about 4.8 ! times the 2007 quantity

. If not for the stupid 55% drop from week 2 to week 5 I'd be really happy.
I wish everybody [US] on this forum a fat IRS tax refund check. Spend it wisely.. (meaning buy more Blu-Ray disks)

However this works as well.

It seems that since the WB announcement HDDVD is selling about the same as BD did last year.

Best Buy with a BOGO, I will gladly take a 3 to 1 advantage. Just have to keep it at 3 to 1 or higher.

HD DVD jumped 33% to generate 51,878 in unit sales. BD fell about 17% to 147,180 units sold.

It's not clear to me why there was that shift.

Three words: Best. Buy. BOGO (or is it two words, as in "BestBuy. Bogo"?

)

She calls herself a journalist?

I can do that.

Code:


Week     BD    HD DVD
01/06   301     162
01/13   322      57
01/20   200      41
01/27   177      39
02/03   147      52

Figures in thousands. There's not much accuracy there because we aren't given decimals.

These are the sales figures for the first five weeks of 2007.

Code:


Week        BD     HD DVD
1/7/07    44,779   25,943
1/14/07   45,754   21,362
1/21/07   53,050   25,233
1/28/07   47,803   21,634
2/4/07    45,723   20,535

HD DVD is selling now more or less like Blu-ray a year ago.

Blu Titan · 02-08-2008, 11:59 AM

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the top ten High Def Sellers:

Blu-ray:

1. 3:10 to Yuma Lionsgate
2. Planet Earth: Collection BBC
3. Pirates: At World's End Disney
4. Saw IV Lionsgate
5. 300 Warner
6. The Game Plan Disney
7. The Invasion Warner
8. Ratatouille Disney
9. Cars Disney
10. Casino Royale Sony

HD DVD

1. Transformers Paramount
2. Bourne Supremacy Universal
3. Shooter Paramount
4. Bourne Identity Universal
5. Serenity Universal
6. The Mummy Universal
7. Bourne Ultimatum Universal
8. Shrek the Third Paramount
9. Smokin' Aces Universal
10. Shaun of the Dead Universal

As anyone can see (Execption Susan A. from Home Video Business) The HD DVD top 10 is dominated by older titles that were sold in the Best Buy HD DVD BOGO.

Did we have a BOGO as well because a lot of our titles are old. It's interesting to note not a single Warner title showed up under HD DVD, were none including in their BOGO?

I suspect that this occurred as much because of the recent price drop--especially on amazon.

BTW, I've been--finally--watching my copy in the past week, an episode or two a night. It is remarkable, to say the least. Those who haven't bought it ought to consider buying now with that price drop.

Are my posts on your "Make invisible" list?
Amazing, the only difference we have is just 1.5K on the 1st week...

Of course not, I guess I just got blindsided by the big Nielsen graph below.

Yeah. It all depends if you think 65:35 is 65.5:34.5 or what. But we're definitely in the ballpark.

No BOGO for Blu-ray for that week.

I don't think the price drop on Planet Earth occurred until this week. It has been sitting relatively high on Amazon ever since the Warner announcement. Since it is one of the "must have" titles, it could be a lot of new owners.

I wonder if TF made the overall top 10 for them...especially if disc sales were indeed 75:25
