Blu-ray outsells HD-DVD in Europe

HD Movie sales in 2007 in Europe is 73% Blu ray 27% HD DVD

In Japan HD DVD hardly excist, with 3% share of hardware.

In USA HD movie sales are 65% Blu Ray 35% HD DVD.

When you add it up, I find it hard to understand, why some people still believe HD DVD can get back on top, after losing so much ground.

With all respect for Toshiba, they fight against a union of the large CE companies, Panasonic, Sharp, JVC, Samsung, LG, Phillips, SONY, and smaller ones like Pioneer, Denon, and comming players from Mitsubishi, Funai and Dawoe.

Toshiba want to maintain the DVD license, the others do not want to pay anymore.

Together these large companies control the CE market. And MS is too small and the X 360 too unreliable to fight them all.
