Somebody posted that the increase in 300 Blu-ray sales is due to purchases by new PS3 owners... that appears to be a valid deduction.

yeah i posted something along those lines, but that was mostly with the 130k for the single SM3 in mind, putting 300 over 8k......but still, a decent bump nontheless.

Don't forget, these new 40GB PS3's aren't a one week phenomenon, they'll sell increasing amounts each week in the run upto Christmas, through a combination of price, new content, and pent up demand waiting for this model.

Thank you; it's what made sense all along.

People are too eager to believe the best-case scenario, even when there's no official corroboration. It should always be belief in the most conservative outcome, letting yourself be pleasantly surprised if it ultimately ends up better than expected.

Anyway, it's a very strong week for BD - whether Spiderman was at 230k or 130k the first week, 71:29 is 71:29. And as mentioned earlier, there will probably be some strong residual sales of the title in next weeks numbers coupled with Ratatouille's debut.

Either way was good.

If the 130K contains the box set, then Transformers only managed 24K in the third week. Or a total of about 150K since release.

The free give away with the 40GB PS/3 risks the residuals somewhat.

Well, remember that the entire BD user base pre-November 2nd is still excluded from that free SM3, so the potential market for residuals is at least as large as it was during 300's heyday. Not saying that it will or won't match those numbers, but nonetheless I'm expecting relatively strong residuals - and this is probably the strongest box-set to date on either format; a noteworthy occurrence in its own right.

and theres probably more than a handful of people who will sell their SP3 pack in to EB or somewhere and buy the trilogy to get SP1 and 2 in the set. at least i would

Anyone think we can hit 80 % this week? That would really send them scurrying.

Absolutely. The box set is an extraordinary result. Definitely a studio exec head turner there.

absolutely i still think so. Residuals from spidey SHOULD be decent, 60kish for both combined.

PS3 40gb, with a whole week. No A2 sale. Ratty, Cars, Pixar shorts....im sure the pixar movies will also peak interest in meet the robinsons which will help sales, if only a little.

80:20 is the only way to go

I just like seeing this graph a lot, considering Toshiba had to have a fire sale on there players. I am sure the HD-DVD Camp, will say it will help in the long run, maybe a lot of people buying these units are only using them to up-convert there current DVD movies..

[The Guardian]

Anyone else think it's reasonable to expect the top 5 sellers to all be BD in next week's list? The three new Pixars + the two spidermans?

Man, i dont know, id say the 4/5 for sure....if transformers drops more, which it may, possibly. Anyone have hard numbers on transformers from week 1 to 2 to 3 to compare % drops?

I think 80:20 is very likely considering residual sales of Spidey 3 and the big hits Ratatouille and Cars. Rats hit #3 on Amazon sales rank on Tuesday..I'm sure this next report will show some great numbers and bring the YTD and SI percentages back up to where they were if not a percent higher.
