Still waiting to find out what Microsoft's initial Xbox HD DVD drive allotment was.

My guess is by years end there will be 400-500k HD DVD playback devices in homes.

The PS3 will dwarf this number but it remains unclear how many people will take advantage of the Blu-ray drive. It's going to be interesting tracking the Blu-ray movies sales over the next 6 months.

No way in hell there is 400-500k HD DVD players in peoples homes by years end. RCA is a joke. They are lucky if the sold 2,000. The 2nd gen. Toshibas are delayed to mid-December and could be longer.

This is almost as funny as Microsoft claiming 10 million 360's by years end when they've only sold 4.5 million in a year but they're going to double this in the next 45 days. LMAO.
