HD DVD Beating Blu-Ray in the Format war?

Wed, Jul 18, 2007

toshiba_hd-xa1300×300.jpgAt the upcoming Home Media Expo 2007,  the HD DVD Promotional Group will be announcing the recent Nielson netratings of HD DVD hardware sales being up by 37%.

Sofware is also up by 20% from the first to the second quarter of this year.  Blu-Ray hardware sales on the other hand were down by 27%, which in reality is an over 50% swing in sales differences.

Aggressive marketing and cheaper HD DVD players are probably causing sales of HD DVDs to skyrocket and we may have a glimpse of who the winner will be in the format war.  On the flip side of things, Blu-ray is catching on, by giving away free movies and plans are underway to cut prices on standalone players.
