Further to an earlier discussion, some information has just come to hand.
HD-DVD backers claim to have sold around 50,000 machines, worldwide. Sony
claims to have sold more than 1 million Blu Ray machines (most in the guise
of Playstations).
Additionally and possibly more importantly. Blockbuster has announced that
it will no longer stock HD-DVD software. They will be concentrating on Blu
Ray disks.

Whilst I still maintain that it will be the computer/gaming industry which
will drive this industry, it seems that HD-DVD is in serious trouble
already. It seems that the superior system will be embraced by much of the
industry.
