Conclusion, these amazon.com "Bestseller" listing cannot be trusted.

And any list with an expensive HD player as number one does not match the reality of sales in USA. Normal cheap DVD players are still the bestsellers.
Blu Ray and HD DVD have together sold maybe 1 million stand alone players in USA in one year.
Normal DVD players sales in USA is about 20 million in one year.
