81:19 Nielsen/VideoScan Weekly Sales Numbers

[jdsanko]

Just look at the title. Not much else to say.

[dialog_gvf]

Next week will be another good win, and then the week after the Heroes numbers will drop.

Guaranteed #1 there for HD DVD with a strong showing for Blades of Glory (feet kissing).

If it matters anymore by then there will be all sorts of PR from the HD DVD camp if the numbers are good. You know, trot out Paramount to say "this proves our choice was right" sort of nonsense.

2. Wild Hogs 77.63
3. 300 45.18
4. Vacancy 21.34

We can do the possible and nothing is impossible

we can increase our collection by buying more BD movies during that week and as much we can.

MONEY have power but cannot buy my freedom of choice and i Choose BD

[beatboy77]

Did anyone notice that Wild Hogs beat 300 on HD?!?!?!? (almost doubled it) That is GREAT news for Blu-ray

~Josh

[Jimbo976]

Beat it by a lot.

[UltimateFighter]

Hey warner bros,

Imagine if you ended this war. Then how Many 300's would u sell?

[MrVorhees]

[Blu Titan]

Fact is that Blu-ray is kicking and will continue to kick HD DUD's butt all over the country. Take it and run!

[Spankey]

Did anyone notice that Wild Hogs beat 300 on HD?!?!?!?

And do you see Wild Hogs on HD-DVD anywhere on that list? Nope!

I will be buying four or five Blus next week. Just because.

Paramount stabs the winning HD format Blu-ray in the back by accepting $150,000,000.00 bribe from Microsoft.

[daman]

[atomik kinder]

So when is HD DVD's strongest up coming week?

I think I'll be buying 5 or so titles that week...

[CptGreedle]

What I'd like to see is if the paramount change will affect BD sales in the coming months at all.
I personally don't think it will. Mainly cause Disney is finally getting PIXAR on BD, and FOX released 30 new titles....
Plus all the other titles coming out! I think that despite the move, Blu-ray will sell like crazy this holiday and leave HD-DVD in the dust.
I hope the Nielsen numbers reflect this, but we'll just have to keep a vigilant eye.

Sell Ratio for BluRay over HD DVD for last week(This day data)

300 : 2.21x
PE : 1.38x
Disturbia : 2.2x

New Release BR vs Best HD DVD

Wild Hogs sold 1.71x more than 300 on HD DVD
But sold 1.28x less than 300 on Blu-Ray.

[JAGUAR1977]

Other than the Heroes and Transformers weeks FOX's entry is going to help BD win 70-30 plus each week in Q4.
