Are you keeping up with which high definition format is "winning"? I wouldn't blame you if you weren't - but in case you are, the latest bit of spin from the HD DVD Promotional Group in the US suggests that their format now accounts for 60% of all dedicated consumer electronics players sold.
Added to that, sales of HD DVD films hit 75,000 units in the last week of May.
"Toshiba's latest promotional efforts are clearly resonating with consumers and showing that price is king when it comes to hardware," said Craig Kornblau, chairman of the North American HD DVD Promotional Group. "Behind the increase in sales for hardware and movies, you are seeing fundamentally lower manufacturing costs and ease of authoring for HD DVD. That's the type of model that can scale."
No doubt we'll hear Blu-ray's counterargument soon.
