Well with a million PS3s out now errr...million BluRay players, it would be shameful if they weren't ahead. BluRay should be significantly ahead at this point, why the lag?

And before douchebag Dave comes in and starts spewing Sony fanboy crap...SAVE IT

Exactly. The fact that there are so many PS3 units out there but Blu-Ray is currently only slightly ahead of HD-DVD in sales, means that HD-DVD is actually out selling Blu-Ray on a per installed base unit basis.

It's not so strange - There are a million PS3s in the US. Not every PS3 owner is buying Blu-Ray movies. Perhaps 60% according to some sources.

So, that leaves us with some 600.000 blu-ray players vs. some 300.000 tosh+360 drives. And guess what - according to the nielsen numbers Blu-Ray sells 2 to 1!

Nothing strange with the numbers at all. What's in the future is a steady increase in the PS3 install base. 5 million in the US before the year is over wouldn't surprise anyone. But unless something strange happens, Tosh+360 won't sell even a million in that time. Blu-Ray momentum will thus only increase with time.
