Warner has 30% of the HD disc market right now, more than any other studio. They release on both formats but many of their HD DVD releases haven't appeared on BD yet due to inability to do the pip and some other special features on the currently available BD players.

Since the HD disc market is about 1% of the SD disc market it's not yet a major profit center for any studio, exclusive or format neutral, but those who are neutral are at least able to make money from the whole 1%.

300 sold 250,000 copies on HD (HD dvd and BD combined) for Warner, 2 1/2 times the second highest selling title.
