Blu-ray Disc titles began outselling HD DVD titles early in the year and have consistently maintained an edge, week after week. Even Paramount Home Entertainment's release of the DreamWorks theatrical blockbuster Transformers exclusively on the HD DVD format didn't tip the scale last week. Though there was no hot new Blu-ray Disc release, consumers continued to buy more Blu-ray Discs than HD DVDs for the week ended Oct. 21, albeit by a slim 51% to 49% edge. Paramount says Transformers sold 190,000 units its first week in stores, but Home Media Magazine market research and studio estimates puts the actual number of units that sold through to consumers closer to 115,000.
hey paramount I have a better Idea, break the stupid contract, get a lawsuit, gain all that money back by releasing Transformers on Blu-Ray!
Now HD-DVD has 0 chance of ever winning a week, at least this year. It was a nice try though, but it seems that the paramount deal did not work as well as they thought it would.
Tsk Tsk Tsk Paramount..counting numbers shipped and not numbers sold to pad numbers? I thought that this was a console maker's tactic.
WTF!!!! hahahahahahahahhahahahahahahha ! GO SONY! blueray all the way! just wait when bluerays big guns comeout! spiderman trilogy and pirates of caribbean trilogy! GAME OVER!!!!! hddvd your end is at hand. lets give it a few more months then adios amigos to hddvd..
kk...so if Transformers can't tip the scale for HD-DVD atleast for a week...then im srry for that camp when October 30th arrives..!!
"I didn't mean transformers, I meant the next title, umm yeah that is the one that will Win it all for HD DVD"
can't wait to hear Cucu say he is neutral again.
Paramount even had buy one get one free deals for HD DVD as did Sony.
edit: ooh mak it BIG and hoping that somebody might actually believe you are neutral. Every single post from you is crap.
Wet dreams about a little whiny girl making excuses for your format of choice, oh yes. We all want to be cuco too!
