Aren't Universal and Paramount Doing Fine?

[swivel]

If the movie sell rate stays at 80/20, doesn't that mean that Universal and Paramount are doing just as well as everyone else?

If they account for 20% of the films, and also account for 20% of the sales, that means they are selling the same number of films as each Blu-Ray studio (averaged, of course).

So, while HD-DVD looks like it is losing, all of the studios are selling an appropriate percentage. Of course, Warner is still factored in, so this argument will only hold water if Uni and Para pick up the slack after Warner halts production.
