Since the Neilsen stats are one week behind, we wouldn't have really seen the impact of the 90,000+ HD-DVD players that were recently unleashed into the wild.
We are going to see the impact of that in the weeks to come, possibly starting next week. It really is too bad that Walmart is not included in the Neilsen, as I am sure it would have a dramatic impact on next weeks numbers.
If Nielsen's doesn't include Walmart, it's not worth reading from here on in IMO. IMO Walmart are setting themselves up to be big time players in the HD format, especially software sales, just like they are with DVD.
The only figures that really matter are how many the studios are selling overall to every supplier, they know their own sales numbers and how effective their HD format choice is, and it's not by looking at these twisted figures.
