Back in late 2005, I predicted that Blu-Ray would win the high-def DVD format war, eventually besting HD-DVD. Well, some folks now seem to agree...and some even have data!
Pixel Perfect Productions blog has some interesting graphs that show how soundly Blu-Ray is whupping up on HD-DVD in terms of $ sales of movies (you know, the raison d'etre for these formats).
OK, so when it comes to "new releases", things are weighted pretty heavily toward Blu-Ray. Of the top 300 films released from January 1 2005 to present, 147 of them are from studios that are exclusively supporting Blu-Ray currently, and they represent 53.60% of the total grosses. Add in the numbers from the studios that currently support both formats, and you have 248 out of the top 300 films coming out at some point on Blu-Ray, and they represent 89.07% of the total theatrical grosses.
