HD DVD sales sluggish
http://www.videobusiness.com/article/CA6332298.html
After a couple of weeks of availability, HD DVD is proving to be a slow
go at retail.
Toshiba is limiting its initial shipment of HD DVD players (VB, 4-13),
and with relatively few hardware units in the market, Warner Home Video
is restricting HD DVD title shipments to retail accordingly (VB, 2-10).
Non-hardware regional chain Newbury Comics has not sold one copy of its
HD DVD stock despite pricing its titles at about $20, a few dollars
less than rival New England area Best Buys.
"We've drilled down the margin on this to see if there is
interest," Newbury buyer Ian Leshin said. "There is customer
curiosity, and they say we're a lot cheaper than anyone else. But we
haven't sold a single unit."
