Blu-ray outsells HD-DVD five to one

Posted Jun 21, 2007 at 12:53PM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: PS3 Tags: gaming accessories, Screen Digest, Sony

All good things are going for Sony's Blu-Ray and we know it. With Blockbuster's full support and the aggressive move to ship more players, it's no surprise that HD-DVD is lagging behind. Blu-Ray is maintaining a five to one edge over its format competitor, says the research firm Digital Entertainment Group.

DEG reports that 1.5 million Blu-Ray players have entered households. This is mostly thanks to PS3 sales, as only 100,00 of these are standalone. However, only 300,000 homes have HD-DVD players with the numbers evenly matched between stand alone drivers and 360 attachment drives.

Warner Bros. senior vice president Steve Nickerson believes that consumers are preparing to embrace the new high-def DVD category. That said, Warner Bros. still support both formats.

Nickerson foresees history repeating itself, saying this year "will mirror the year 1999 or 2000 for DVD.Â” It's too early to tell which format will emerge victorious, but Blu-Ray is enjoying a good lead. Out of US$ 55 million consumers spent on high-def DVD titles, US$ 35 million were on Blu-Ray titles.

No matter how it turns out, the home video industry is hoping for growth in sales. Â“ItÂ’s in the very, very early days of our forecasts, but we believe that High-Definition discs will help return consumer video spending to growth,Â” said Helen Davis Jayalath from Screen Digest.

yep i love blu-ray lol its awesome. I've watched casino royale and taledega nights and they were both awesome in both video and sound.

Im surprised no xbots have come yet and say something about the ps3 forcing the format...35$ mil spent on blu-ray movies 20m spent on hd-dvd. i think people with hd-dvd players buy more movies than people with blu-ray

oh sony's failed before.

ever hear of a yaroze??

# thats funny here in GTA HDDVD sells way more then blueray — ZidanneFFIX 2007-06-21 16:34

Im not exactly sure i believe these results i work for a BestBuy Co. and run reports daily on traffic on 2 disricts... about 16 stores all togehter and ever since the price drop to 349.99 HDDVD player we have been consistently sold out and even preorders are locked down, this lack of cheaper units has sparked interest in the 599.99 and 999.99 skus as well. However blueray plans to market its first 599.99 (other then the ps3) next week so well see how it goes i guess.

ps. fathers day weekend we were sold out nearly everywhere of HDDVD and DVD of Planet earth, blueray was nearly untouched expect a few outliers, interesting fact. maybe just a lot of wives out to get a 349.99 (HD) player with a (HD) movie, perhaps all they hear about there new setup at home is how HD is better blah blah blah, therefore they got something they think is good. it happened enough times at our store in oakville.

# haha — Guest 2007-06-21 17:26

Its funny because you are just a few stores

comparing yourself to entire countrys

# welll — Guest 2007-06-21 17:42

if you read the article, people who want to just watch movies are going for HD DVD.

It kind of seems like they are saying they won because a PS3 comes with a blu ray player.

To make it more simple (as I'm sure some people are too stupid to understand that):

People who want to watch hd movies go HD DVD. Think about it, they wouldn't buy it on 360 if they didnt, and they sell more stand alone players than blu ray. Sony is just doing what they had planned from the beginning by using the PS3 to bring in blu ray. Big surprise (/sarcasm). It's good blu rays winning for sony though I guess, but it really doesn't have any affect on me.

Oh and to the guy spending $20-$30 a movie just to have them sit and collect dust, you're an idiot.

# Where is xman ? — Guest 2007-06-21 17:53

Hey guys, where is xman and his stupid comments ???

Go on BD !!!

# learn your history — Guest 2007-06-21 18:34

look up "Betamax" on google.

educate yourself.

# myself alone — Quixand 2007-06-21 18:43

i know 7 close friends who bought a PS3 instead of a stand alone Blu Ray player because it's a better deal... so ur argument about stand alone HDDVD vs stand alone Blu Ray doesn't hold water cause some people looking for a Blu Ray player just opted for the PS3 deal which is part of the plan actually by Sony moron... and as of now it is the cheapest Blu Ray player too... so why get a stand lone, ur stupidity is stellar.

as for my movies just sitting still yet untouched??? i can afford it... i've got an entertainment room with two walk in cabinets for dvds, games (from ps2 to ps3), and now blu rays... i've got all my movies catalogued on my pc for fast searching, i got more movies than ur entire neighborhood ass hole... i've got three PS3 (one in there, one in my room, and one in my car in which i've got some untouched Blu Ray movies in as well ready to be watched when i feel like it)...

now no matter what ur opinions are HDDVD is losing... u can't twist the facts...

# well.. — Guest 2007-06-21 18:47

He will come sooner or later just to say Blu-Ray sucks and to say.. no.. he never have nothing to say... it's better no ignore him... he just need attention that he never have in his home...

# Yes — Guest 2007-06-21 19:09

The project that wasn't meant for mass-market, was made for PS1, then as the PS2 linux kit, and now built in to PS3?

How did that fail?

# ohhhh it the xman biotch!! — Guest 2007-06-21 19:11

this artical makes no sence. they first say that blurr ray outsells hd dvd but then goes on to say that"US$ 55 million consumers spent on high-def DVD titles, US$ 35 million were on Blu-Ray titles"!!! so that means that this artical is a fake and hd dvd is winning!!!

# stupid — Quixand 2007-06-21 19:26

$55 mil for the OVERALL high-def dvd titles... $35 mil of that is on Blu Ray...

where did you get the "HDDVD is winning"??

ohhh u thought the "high-def dvd titles" means HDDVD??? how sweet... now go back to school...

i said get new material... ur sounding redundant already and u've been here around a week and ur already drawing blanks???? u don't have enough brains to stay in this forum kid... just rub ur dog's balls.

# hmmm... — Guest 2007-06-21 20:02

they always lost in every media format they made... if they win this one it will be the first one... since betamax to the UMD movies... the last one fail for their fault because if they putted the video output in the psp in the first place it was like a portable dvd player and at home too.. and for a little more... well anyway... is an old story...

" if you read the article, people who want to just watch movies are going for HD DVD."

nice conclusion, but don't you think the people who just want to watch movies go for the PS3 because it delivers a lot more than just a movieplayer ?

If i liked watching movies, I'd got for bluray, because i could do lots of things with my BRplayer

# Awesome — Guest 2007-06-22 02:10

# Its all about company support. — Guest 2007-06-22 02:40

This isnt suprising since Warner Brothers which used to be an HD-DVD exclusive company now supports Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray has every company supporting them,especialy in the computer industry for backup BD+R/RW. With bith movie companies like Disney,Buena Vista ,Lions Gate,and Sony Pictures,does HD-DVD even see a chance of winning ? The only company keeping its titles exclusive to HD-DVD is Universal Pictures,but its only a matter of time :)

# In response to all replies — ZidanneFFIX 2007-06-22 04:07

GTA stands for Greater Toronto Area, and as far we being insignificant in sales best buy holds 17% market share along with around 23% future shop to combine to 40% of Ontario's game sales... were even more on overall sales... and the population of Ontario's is a good sample size to use; when considering Canada's population... all I am saying is when people come in to get the new HD experience with there HD sets most are opting for the 350.00 alternative and are not looking for an excuse to "get another gaming console" in the house sorry for telling it how it is? I guess fry's didn't really depend on Blueray taking off either as if what you are saying is true they must have had limited stock of planet earth. again just a suggestion however very logical and ...probable?

# the XMan factor.....just plain rubbish — Guest 2007-06-22 04:50

Do we really have to take this idiot (xman) seriously? Lets just discuss the matter at hand and not let this illiterate troll ruin our day. And nobody thinks your cool xman.....everyone here thinks your just a ten year old moron who cant even spell right. Ive got a five year old daughter who spells better than you. If you want people to take you seriously then polish up your grammar and take up ethics class cause there aint no way you are gonna win in any argument seeing how much idiotic you sound. And if you are going to reply i have pretty much predicted the manner in which you are going to make your reprisal....which would be just lame and unintelligent. As for the betamax failing against the vhs, it was simply because the vhs has longer record times than the betamax. Seeing that bluray has a much bigger capacity than hd dvd i am pretty sure that sony is in no longer in danger of losing the format wars. People will always want the one which has more to offer. Bluray has a twice the capacity than hd dvd therefore it makes it a lot future proof which is what most consumers would want in their purchase.

PS. Xman if you cant spell or treat people with respect then STFU or else get a life and a GOOD EDUCATION

# not smart — Datnizzle 2007-06-22 05:29

Stand alone hd-dvd players have a 50,000 unit lead over blu-ray. When hd-dvd players were $500-$600

you would have to be really stupid not to buy a ps3. From the start HD-dvd was an underdog, with disney and sony pictures backing blu-ray HD-dvd never had a chance. The HD-dvd camp knew that thy may be able to make a few bucks to get back some of the money spent on R+D. They knew they could rely on retailers greed and people ignorance of the business end of the "format war".

# It's not Mister Common Sense — Guest 2007-06-22 11:27

Looks like you're out of you're so called "facts"

How can HD-DVD have ten times the picture of a Blu-ray disc, when it has 20 gb less space? The Blu-ray is capable of having a 48 mbit transfer rather than HD-DVD's 36 mbit transfer.

PS3 owners do not suck, just because we own one.

The audio isn't better, because the Dolby Digital track has only got a 504 Kbit/s transfer compared to the blu-rays superior 640 Kbit/s transfer. The DTS-HD Master audio has only got a 3mbit/s transfer compared to the blu-rays superior 6mbit/s.

But not only that, but the HD-DVD doesn't have a hard coat protection like Blu-ray!

"HD-DVD is much better than Blu-ray" according to Mr. Nonsense, but then why don't you prove me wrong?

I have a feeling that Mister Common Sense has had a very harsh childhood. I'm begining to suspect that he was raped by a gang of monkeys in the local zoo...

# The boy th@ is X-man (& Blu-Ray HD DVD bulls**t) — ElDiablo 2007-06-22 11:47

Hey li'l boy did u call yourself xman because u have the same amount of hair's on ur ball's as Xavier has on his head?

It's just a theory like but it would explain why u act the way u do (about 12).

Also 2 all the HD DVD add on boyo's could u have bought a PS3 4 the price u paid 4 the 360 & add on?

I do feel 4 u when u must look @ ur system (Noisy if it work's Xbox, massive controller, Power brick & ugly HD DVD add on) while my black HDTV sit's on it's glass stand above my black cable box & my PS3 looking cool as f**k.

Don't mean 2 sound smug but I'm sure there's lot's of PS3 owner's who know wh@ I mean, even M$ brought out the "Elite" 360 (black with HDMI?) which would piss me off as all those who bought the lesser model may feel a bit ripped off.

When it come's 2 Blu-Ray or HD DVD contest look @ it this way, Year 1 of most new product's or format's or wh@ever is slow & expensive so most people may own 1 or 2 HD format movie's but next year could own 10-20. I love movie's as well as gamez & plan on owning both & in the year's 2 come game dev's may well b saying the xtra space of Blu-Ray give's a lot more room 2 create their gamez in. Again maybe not this year but in year's 2 come it only take's 1 kick ass game 2 do it 4 every1 else wanting 2 follow suit.

Maybe Sony did sorta push the format on us PS3 owner's but they sorta did th@ with DVD 4 a lot of people as well so I'm not 2 bothered.

By the way I got my PS3 foe £180 as part of a mobilie fone deal in the UK so don't mind wh@ any1 say's as u paid more 4 ur s**tbox that moi did 4 the PS3.

# Kudos — Guest 2007-06-22 23:58

Kudos to the format war and BluRay

One thing I see here though is people claiming this a victory for PS3 or a victory for 360 or what have you.

The reality is that yes, BluRay has taken the lead and has won the war. But this has NOTHING to do with the console war besides the fact that the PS3 is probably the most sold BR player (I assume this at least).

In reality, I'd anticipate MS producing a BR stand alone player much the same as its HD DVD one.

From this point on, it is pretty senseless to invest in HD DVD.

PS

I purchased my PS3 for movie playing predominantly (as argued before) I use my 360 for gaming more so but no one can deny that Sony has power hitters en route. I think this console war will benefit the consumer the most in that each system will be well worth having in the years to come.

# Blu Ray go go go!!! — Guest 2007-06-23 02:56

Yeah I love blu ray Its the best rom I ever seen!!! Blu Ray will win alltimes, I known that!!! earlier! peace for all of you !!!! (not for Bill Gatos) ms go down!

# MS — Guest 2007-06-23 06:29

Ms has backed themselves into a corner with the HD/BRD thing. They wont support games on HD-DVD this generation and I cant see them ever releasing a BRD add-on for the 360. Maybe in 7-8 years time when all the formats are settled they might decide to join the next gen and support the latest hardware trends.

Or maybe 2 years from now they will make a xbox 360 ultra elite, a MS brand PS3 (Blu-ray HDMI standard 2.5 HD support blue tooth wifi card readers and an actual OS maybe Vista-X or at least a damn web browser.

Again though the chances of 360 seeing BRD this generation are .001%.

360 only exists to keep direct-X on everyones minds. Direct-X means no Open-GL which in turn means no games for Linux = OS Market monopoly

# huh? — Vecha 2007-06-23 08:10

MS has actually stated they would make a standalone br player if the public wanted it so.

They have stated they would not just support hddvd.

Sony is the only one backing up only one format*(which isn't bad or good...just ended up good this time around)

you need to open your mind fanboy.

# About BetaMax — Guest 2007-06-24 20:07

I know everyone is calling Betamax a failure, however, go into any television studio, editing studio, or production house and you will see betmax everywhere. You might find a VHS in my Grandmas basement.

It may not have been as popular, but its still in constant use. I for one would not call that a failure.

When I'm not wasting my life doing that, I boast about how I blow money supporting a company that doesn't give a s*it about me.

I'm soooo smart!
