To be fair, these sales numbers for Casino Royal are from 3/18/07. I'm sure it's sold heavily since then, but unlikely to be anywhere near 100k. I wouldn't be surprised to see 50-60k sales though.
This is why its really too early to even think about the format war being over. I mean nether format is even in the black yet. It probably won't until someone puts out a player that is under $150.
I think this is more reason why the format war should be ended. Like Todd just said, fighting over a niche market doesn't work. If anyone wants these formats to grow, which they definitely have the potential to do, there needs to be only one format so the consumers feel comfortable about investing money in it.
Lowering disc prices would also help even moreso than lowering player costs at this point in time.
