Blu-ray Extends Sales Lead After Warner Announcement
Citation:
Home Media Magazine is reporting that the Nielson VideoScan data shows Blu-ray captured 85% of the high definition media market the week following the Warner Brothers exclusivity announcement. At the top of the list was Lionsgate´s ´3:10 to Yuma´, which sold four times as many units as the second place title, Sony´s ´Resident Evil: Extinction´.
The Top 10 was dominated by Blu-ray titles this week, with not a single HD DVD title selling enough units to be considered a contender. The best selling HD DVD title sold only 1/10 as many copies as ´3:10 to Yuma´, showing not only the popularity of that title, but also of the format in general.

Net HD DVD sales, according to Nielsen, constituted only 15% of hi-def disc sales last week.

Apple qui n´a quasi rien fait dans cet guerre en profite pour en rajouter un couche :
Apple: Blu-ray Won the Format War
Citation:
Jim Goldman of CNBC recently sat down with Steve Jobs to discuss the new and upcoming products Apple announced during the MacWorld Expo held earlier this week. Jobs was asked about the format war and if he thought Apple had usurped both Blu-ray and HD DVD with their addition of HD movie rentals to iTunes. His response was, "Clearly, Blu-ray won, but in the new world order of instant online movie rentals, in HD, no one will care about what format is where." We, of course, disagree about not caring what format we get our HD movies in.
What usually isn´t mentioned about Apple´s iTunes HD movies is that they´re only encoded in 720p, half the resolution of Blu-ray, which encodes all film content at 1080p (Full HD). The result is a picture which is only half as sharp, half as colorful, and half as beautiful as Blu-ray. Furthermore, only some of the iTunes HD movies have surround sound, and those that do only make use of the archaic Dolby Digital technology. Anyone who has listened to a PCM, Dolby TrueHD, or DTS-HD Master Audio track knows that there is simply nothing that can compare to a lossless/uncompressed audio track.
I hope someone sends him a copy of ´Ratatouille´ on Blu-ray soon to show him not all HD is created equally.
Alors oui paramout et univeral vont passer BD sous peu
