I'm afraid the PS3 is in trouble. While I can appreciate a format allowing for more space, thus longer games, perhaps it could have waited until the production was cheaper. I worry for the PS3's future.

lol, where have you been, sleeping under a rock? you do know that BR is out selling hd dvd this past month.
Every commercial I see says.. "buy it on dvd and blu ray" I never hear anything about buy it on HD-DVD. I work at Target in the electronics department, and I can honestly say I have sold maybe 3 HD-DVDs (no hd-dvd add ons for the 360) and lots of Blu Ray movies. Blu Ray has more movies coming out in the next month than HD-DVD announced for the entire year.

I believe it's on both formats
When people say that Blu-Ray is selling three times as many HD-DVDs I haven't really seen people actually run off the numbers. Is Blu-Ray outselling HD-DVDs by thousands? tens of thousands? more?

http://www.eproductwars.com/dvd/ I've seen that website before, but I couldn't remember the URL. It's strange that the best selling BD movie and PS3 game are preorders. Does that website only account for Amazon sales on those two things?

http://www.eproductwars.com/dvd/ That site proved rather useless in answering my question.
So in the # of top 10,000 catagory, the gap that seperates the two formats is... 20-25?

There hasn't been an official released number... just a chart that says almost 3:1 sold. http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/01/18/where-are-the-official-hd-dvd-vs-blu-ray-sales-numbers/ (Posted Jan. 18 ) EDIT: Here's a more recent site that says Blu-Ray has sold over 2:1. http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/456 (Posted Feb. 1)

I don't think we can really take stock in the BR>HDDVD right now, becuse the market is not that big. 1.5m (possible) BR players, and 200K HDDVD players is not a market. I will tell you which one will win that war. The first player that is less than $200.00 will take the cake, untill then people are just choking on the price of the HDTV that is required to enjoy what either product offers.
i think it suprised alot of ppl. hd dvd had a 6mnth head start over BR. Now Br is either close to hd dvd on sold, or suprass it. either way i must say br did well even if it started off late.
PS3 is carrying Blu-Ray through because people aren't rushing out to buy next-gen DVD players, but they ARE rushing out to get PS3s, so the only format that even really has a significant market share is PS3 because nobody really buys stand alone players. Or the 360 add-on. Come on guys, who are we kidding, it's not flopping but it's not a success.
I still sort of think that HDDVD can win because Sony will make a dumb move with Blu-Ray. Just because it's selling now doesn't mean it's going to win. I feel like the next-gen format war hasn't even really started yet, and I almost think it never will, and that DVD will remain the format of choice for years to come.
