Planet Earth has sold 42,000 copies, probably both formats together. The Departed sold 100,000 combined. Pirate-23,500 each. Matrix Boxes, 17,000. There are titles that probably haven't hit the 1000 mark yet.
These are not impressive numbers. This is why I always laugh when some boob gets online and says something like "BD is Killing HD DVD!" or my personal fave, "CONTENT RULES!" :-)
HD has a long hard road ahead of it. The likelyhood of these being being niche formats is quite high, and I don't have a problem with that. Time will tell. Its possible, that nothing will happen untill 2009, when the digital/HD switch is turned on.
