Screen Digest, the media research company, estimates that in Britain in 2007, 7,000 Blu-ray players were sold. However, the Blu-ray was incorporated within Sony’s PlayStation 3, which sold about 754,000 consoles. This compared with 15,000 HD DVD players and 40,000 HD DVD drives built to attach to the Xbox console.

Though there were many more Blu-ray players thanks to sales of the PlayStation 3, the discs sold (470,000 Blu-Ray discs, 200,000 HD DVDs) indicated a more even contest. Equally, the great technology war appears something of a minority interest, when compared with the 250 million DVDs that sold.

Bit suprised by the low volume. Still clearly shows Blu-ray ahead in hardware and software sales
