With HD DVD out, Blu-ray sales on the rise
Here is a quote:
Quote:
"Blu-ray Disc sales have seen a sharp spike in recent weeks since the bruising format war against rival HD DVD came to an end in the middle of February.
Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment's "No Country for Old Men" realized 9.8% of its total sales from Blu-ray Disc its first five days in stores, according to an analysis of Nielsen VideoScan First Alert numbers conducted by Home Media Magazine's market research department.
Fox's "Hitman," also released March 11, fared even better, generating 12.6% of its total unit sales from Blu-ray."

This article paints a much brighter picture of the future of Blu-Ray than the recent Doom and Gloom posts around here would have you believe.
The Last paragraph has a major error on it tho.... Makes me wonder about their fact checking.
