Nielsen VideoScan: Blu-ray/DVD/HD DVD Stats (Updated Weekly)

**admin** · 13 Apr 2008, 10:33 PM

I'm going to use this thread to post stats from Home Media Magazine, which are published in the free digital edition of the magazine with polling conducted by Nielsen VideoScan. Here's the list of links to archived editions of the digital magazine:

(not updated with latest links though)

------------------------

Ok, for the week ending 6th April 2008, here are the stats:

Blu-ray vs DVD: 4% vs 96% (comparison of top 20 titles by volume)
Blu-ray vs HD DVD: 64% vs 36% (67% vs 33% since inception)

A big comeback for HD DVD for some reason, or perhaps a big drop for Blu-ray (Blu-ray had 8% against DVD last week, compared to only 4% this week).

This BD might be the biggest fizzer in a while. Having said that, sales will increase when BD recordable drives and media come down in price and people can actually backup their media (where permitted by law). However, it's chicken and egg. Prices won't decline significantly until stuff is sold in bigger amounts.

Interesting comment about the big problem being cheap upscale dvd players, it seems if someone buys one then blu-ray won't be added for several years
