Now before someone posts that amazon sales rankings are not exact it does give us a ballpark figure.

Mission Impossible - Ultimate Missions Collection [Blu-ray]
Price: $69.95
Sales rank: 3532 (#5 among Blu-ray)
Release date: October 30, 2006

Mission Impossible - Ultimate Missions Collection [HD DVD]
Price: $69.95
Sales rank: 499 (#7 among HD-DVD)
Release date: October 30, 2006

Superman Returns [Blu-ray]
Price: $23.95
Sales rank: 1597 (#2 among Blu-ray)
Release date: November 28, 2006

The ranking # is how popular that title is compared to all DVD (SD DVD, HD-DVD, and Bluray). Lower is better, higher is worse. #1 would be the highest selling DVD for that week.

Interesting place to get these figures is:
