Amazon Blu-ray vs. HD DVD wars - Page 7 - Blu-ray Forum

Crank is on the verge of becoming the first BD title to hold the #1 HD disc ranking. I think it has grabbed the all time high for a BD title.

6:30 pm:

Crank: 298
Batman Begins: 291

Blu-ray: 843
HD DVD: 756

Clerks II was a one day wonder, it looks like.

I think that until the two most popular HD DVD titles are out on BD, namely Batman Begins, and V for Vendetta, any comparison is quite unfair, as these two titles from Warner have been dominating the HD DVD chart for quite some time.

dialog_gvf · 01-06-2007, 11:40 PM

Well, since the formats are nearly equal, those Warner titles would probably push BD into permanent domination.

The first six months of 2007 is when Warner plans to catch-up. And we are starting to see what the BD exclusive studios have planned.

It's not even going to be close by the spring.

My point exactly!

Maximus · 01-07-2007, 09:45 PM

Well sort of news again, for the first time a BD has taken the lead in the primary rankings,

Crank #282
Clerks 2 #306

Both are the highest for their respective formats.

dialog_gvf · 01-07-2007, 10:21 PM

Hurrah!

I was expecting late January. This is happening several weeks early.

shug7272 · 01-07-2007, 10:35 PM

That is awesome.

view-it-blu · 01-07-2007, 10:37 PM

i have been on a def. site and it supports both platforms and they sound scared and confused .

dialog_gvf · 01-07-2007, 11:53 PM

As of 7:30pm

#1: Crank (Blu-ray) - 294
#2: The Prestige (Blu-ray) - 316
#3: Clerks II (HD DVD) - 355

The swing is underway.

If I am looking correctly Crank is at 272. Is there a better way than looking at each dvd to figure the rank? Is there a way to compare sales ranks of top HD DVD's and Blu Ray.

Oh and prestige is 291.

This is great news for HD DVD!

Maximus · 01-08-2007, 04:19 PM

The crossover happened today!!!

BD top 10 has a higher average rank than the HD DVD top 10.

Earlier than many on here expected.

goodstuff · 01-08-2007, 04:34 PM

LOL, looks like today has been a very bad day for HD-DVD

They said it would NEVER happen. Now, it won't matter.

How will they try to spin it now, I wonder? They put so much import in those bogus Amazon rankings, well, now, here you go....

I suspect they'll use the French gambit. They were all in the resistence (didn't trust the numbers) all along.

Or, they'll claim top 10 isn't a valid measurement now. They'll insist on the number that shows HD DVD in the lead. LOL

Another new milestone:

Today at 11:00am. Top 25 titles:

Blu-ray: 1557
HD DVD: 1610

Once those announced titles go up for pre-order, it will be game over.

dialog_gvf · 01-09-2007, 06:33 PM

2:30pm

Crank reaches 177. Highest ever ranking for a BD title.

BD in the lead the last TWO hours now for the top 10.

goodstuff · 01-09-2007, 07:24 PM

I'm sure these numbers won't mean anything now
