Sales of dual-format new releases - Blu-ray Forum

Grubert · 11-12-2007, 08:08 AM

It has been argued that the sales of exclusive titles don't tell us much about the format war, and that we should look at the relative sales of titles that get released on both formats. This topic covers the sales of new releases that get released simultaneously on both formats.

Initially, I only used the relative sales numbers for the top 10 published in Home Media Magazine. But to supplement that, I have used alternate sources, as described below.

Code:
