HD Update: HDDVD Sales Lag Behind Blu-Ray’s

hd_dvd_bluray_copies.jpg

Home Media Research recently reported in a study that Blu-Ray Discs have sold 1.6 million copies, while HDDVD’s have sold 795,000 discs from the beginning of the year till July 1st. That puts the BluRay Discs outselling HDDVD’s 2:1 in the US. This can be attributed many exclusives that were present in the beginning of the year; however, the features-exclusive HDDVD of 300 seems to be lagging behind the 300 Blu-Ray even though lacks many of the features of the 300 HDDVD like picture-in-picture commentary. Many people believe this will also reflect the second-half of the year because of the various types of players available for BluRay, as opposed to the HDDVD’s players. Is this the last straw for HDDVD?
