That's why I say a bit errorous. Released titles are still very close. Blu has a slight lead in announced titles.

I think he is actually referring to sales not releases.

Since Inception Neilson has BD/HD at about 60/40 but BD,arguably, wasn't really in the game until Jan. and since then BD has ~2:1 ratio with some weeks more, some less.

I'm assuming that this will also find its way into print so what is more intersting to me, is how this will be precieved. Most of us hereabouts are obsessives and follow the blow by blow, but the average buyer who might be considering delving into this territory come Christmas, might just see 65 to 35 as overwhelming odds, particularily in mind of the sentences I quoted from the article.
