In Reply to: 46 were for use as Blu-Ray players. nt posted by Duilawyer on December 13, 2007 at 06:42:59:
The PS3 is making a huge impact. Even if only a small fraction of them are used for Blu-ray movies, it's still a significant number compared to the HD DVD standalone players. I came close to buying one myself, but not to play games.
The proof is in the Software sales. Blu-ray won last week 74:26, This week is HD DVD's last, best chance to win the weekly software sales rankings to avoid a 52:0 shutout in HD media software sales (Re: Bourne Ultimatum).
