Right now it is 6x-3x bluray. It's easy to see 79-21 toward the end of the year. Why?

Combine most of the top blockbusters of 2007 on BD only and the Holiday sales of PS3 and...if I may quote Tim Robbins from WOTW:

"It's not a war any more than it's a war between men and maggots"

^^ That link is from audioholics, in case it wasn't obvious to everyone.

It's going to be interesting to see what 500,000 PS3's packed in with Casino Royale do overseas in March, combined with all the points in that article.

How many HD-DVD players, including Xbox 360 add ons, have been sold?

Signs of Japan reaching 100% Blu-ray penetration (over HD-DVD) within 2007 still appear to be on-track

Chris, any new updates from cdjapan, or Amazon Japan or maybe from oricon?

Apparently, any kind of claims of victory are forbidden in this war. We must all agree things are about even until HD DVD is given a chance to come back.

It's unfair to point out BD is winning. It may affect people's purchases.

it's still pretty quiet unfortunately. I'm surprised things haven't kicked off more there in terms of titles being announced. As much as the recorder market owns over there, I can't help but think they could have supplanted some extra sales from standalones outside of the PS3.

Yup! You are correct. I posted it over on HighDefDigest simply to get a rise out of the HD DVD fanboys. Pretty funny, as it seemed to work flawlessly.
