Its an improvement, but still not alot.
For those obsessed with numbers, they are linked.
BTW, total disc sales are 4M:2.5M, coming to 1.6:1 (still).
Both together is still less than Transformers did its first week.
That's sad.

10% of DVD player sales actually sounds pretty big to me - 4season 09:35:42 12/10/07 (1)
...considering how affordable, well-loved, and ubiquitous the standard DVD has become!

The real question is how long Sony and Toshiba can continue to heavily subsidize these players. But I think there's a real chance that these high-def formats could gain the kind of traction that SACD and DVD-A never really did.

  Is that those people buying new players, especially the cheap HD DVD players, are starting to buy movies. If you look at the week ending 12/2, Planet Earth HD DVD was the #2 seller, almost matching #1. That sure surprises me.
  Quite interesting.
