Blu-ray Selling More Discs, Not Players, than HD-DVD?

[J_UNTITLED]

From IMDb.com

"During a week in which $99.00 HD DVD high-definition video players verily flew off Wal-Mart shelves, it was Blu-ray, not HD DVD, discs that consumers took home. According to figures released by Nielsen VideoScan and reported on the High-Def Disc News website, 72.6 percent of all high-definition discs purchased during the week were Blu-ray. (The website pointed out that 10 of the 12 new releases issued last week were in the Blu-ray format and that Wal-Mart's disc sales are not covered by VideoScan.) Meanwhile, Wal-Mart on Thursday began offering an HD DVD player dubbed Venturer at a regular price of $199.00."

Perhaps.

Well again they are only counting stand alone players. While I understand why they don't count the PS3 in player sales, it should at least be mentioned in the articles AS a bluray player with sale numbers included.
