Just North America.

In Japan Blu-ray is destroying HD DVD (Nov/Dec was 96% hardware sales in BD's favour). Top 10 on amazon.co.jp is ~500 for BD and ~4000 for HD DVD. In other words, BD has already won in Japan.

Figures for Europe show such absolutely tiny disc sales (< 14K total in the UK for HD DVD) that really it could be argued that neither format has really launched there. On PS/3 release day in UK + Europe, Blu-ray movie discs sales will permanently surpass HD DVD. Hence, that's why it has been endless anti-PS/3 propaganda lately. They are desperate.
