the Hd-dvd numbers are hilarious but wow i never expected AVP 2 to get the number 1 spot

Why are most of the HD DVD numbers the same amount?

Are these the number of copies that get sent to Amazon, Best Buy, etc. and not the actual # sold to consumers?

BD numbers don't look too impressive to me for the week ending 4/27. The top film sells 8900 copies? That's not something to brag about.

I don't know why we still pay attention on HDDVD numbers if the war is over

From looking at those figures it shows we are selling about a million bds per month and thats not to shabby.
