Blu-ray still outselling HD DVD: 2-1 in the US
A new round of statistics shows that Blu-ray discs are outselling their HD DVD rivals by a ratio of 2:1 in the US.
That's according to figures from Nielsen VideoScan for the week ending 18th February.
Unsurprisingly, Nielsen note that the surge in Blu-ray sales began about two weeks after the US introduction of the PS3.
With Blu-ray sales in the UK outpacing HD DVD by 4 to 1 - of course what I meant to say was that HD DVD is outpacing Blu-ray by 4 to 1 in the UK. (I've got Blu-ray on the brain, evidently), but the launch of the PS3 could swing that statistic as it has done in the US.
I think you made a mistake.
Blu-ray isn't outselling HD-DVD 4to 1 in the UK. It's HD-DVD that is outselling Blu-ray 4 to 1. It says so in the article you linked.
