Columbus (OH) - For the second month in a row, Blu-ray Disc (BD) sales were about double that of HD DVD, according to recently released February sales data.

According to trade magazine Video Business, around 250,000 Blu-ray movies were sold last month. HD DVD sales, on the other hand, totaled 125,000.

During January, Blu-ray received a similar sales edge over HD DVD. Many attributed the advantage to the fact that BD has more studio support and a bigger library of movies, meaning that sales of individual titles were not necessarily greater than HD DVD. However, in the same article, Video Business reported on a format comparison for one movie. The Departed, which was released on both Blu-ray and HD DVD, sold about 20,000 and 13,000 for the two formats, respectively.

I think the author means that the number of sales per studio is the same. Just that because more studios support BR it gets more sales in total. You know, more films available, thus more sales, and not that the reason is that people prefer the one format over the other.

BTW, Hobo I think Hornet is stating HD-DVD is pwned because of Blu-Ray having more sales. He's just trying to justify his Piss Sony Three.
