I couldn't disagree with you more; I'm surprised how low HD-DVD is this week. They should have good numbers for quite some time still considering the sales that are going on. Just because its dead doesn't mean sales drop to 0 really fast. There's still plenty of value out there for HD-DVD player owners as there's nothing wrong with them picking up an HD version of a movie for less than the DVD version's price. You also have to remember that HD-DVD owners will not typically be quick to jump on the Blu wagon, that and look at the new releases... their crap movies and who's going to buy this stuff on DVD, never mind Blu-Ray? Blu will take off when big back catalog movies are released and when some decent new movies come out; the next PS3 price drop will also help. Till then, its slim pickings ..even for DVD.
eHD, you guys should show the total sales numbers as 95% one week can mean something very different then 95% another week.
