This article says that 60% of the set-top market is HD-DVD... 150,000 standalone players have been sold according to this article. That means that there are 100,000 standalone blu-ray players (wow).
That's fine... then you add in the 3.5 million PS3's already sold AND add the fact that the Sony BDP-S300 ($499) and new Panasonic player (both $499) haven't really started shipping yet...
HD-DVD has problems.
Despite their "record high attach rates", the week ending June 5th saw Blu-ray disc outselling HD-DVD 70/30. Enough said.
