That maybe so but I'm not sure why you are comparing sales to HD DVD.. First of all at that time there 2 competing formats so a lot of people were holding off regardless of the price, second a lot and i mean A LOT less people even really understood what HD DVD or Blu-Ray were. This Black Friday it's a full year into Blu-Ray being alone and having sales at less then 150k is still, as shawnmos says, pretty low, I would expected at least 3 times the number of units sold then that.

You can't spin this really in no other way but somewhat disappointing as to what some people might've expected. Also it shows that 300% number sounds really really good but when you see real unit sales, that excitement really somewhat fades away.

Is there a number of how many DVD players were sold? I think that would give you an even more realistic picture.
