No HD DVD with the possible exception of Planet Earth and Transformers is selling "well"

...at least not the way studios define selling well. Sales of HD DVD are negligible to Universal. Their DVD sales and theater gross sales are far more important. You are pretending that Universal's financial well-being is riding on sales of HD DVD. That is just not true, and those who are buying Universal HD DVDs now, will continue buying them regardless of a blu announcement...especially if the price is knocked down.

I am very patient, but like Meyer (Warner CEO) said, there is a window of time to make an HD optical format succeed. Warner's case was not much different in terms of available HD DVD stock. Warner is a big company with significant DVD sales. We pretend these companies are riding on their HD numbers, but it's not true. I hope someday it will be, but now it isn't.
