In the UK / Ireland, the only store that I've seen giving equal space to both formats is Zavvi (formerly Virgin Megastore). HMV gives practically 90% of its space to Blu Ray. A lot of the smaller stores don't bother with either format.
I think it's likely that HD DVD will disappear entirely and Blu Ray will soak up its shelf space. Blu is still some way (probably until Christmas) away from finally being considered mainstream in Europe. I hope it's accompanied by some price reductions or it's going to languish.
