Studio Support for each format.... analysis

[xmositox]

Using the StudioSummary list from the charts at high def digest (NOTE: you must select all movie from the pick box at the top of the page), you get a feel for the count of movies available for purchase from each studio.....

I sumed up the numbers and here they are...

HD DVD
Paramount/Dreamworks = 50
Universal = 147
Warner/NewLine = 139

Blu Ray
Disney/Miramax/BuenaVista/Touch = 62
Fox/MGM = 63
Lionsgate = 36
Paramount/Dreamworks = 33
Sony = 118
Warner/NewLine = 110


As you can see, taking Warner from HD DVD removes ~40% of their movies.
whereas taking Paramount from us barely made a dent - less then 15%(albeit a big dent with transformers)

Even with Universal and Paramount, HD DVD has nothing because Paramount barely counts as a supporting studio (Especially considering that they stated at CES that they wouldn't be annoucing any new movies at this time)

Come May, barring any new titanic development, HD DVD has nothing

<I am sure that there might be some missing titles which would skew the numbers, they should be >90% accurate which is sufficient for this discusion>
