No, sales of 2 Blu-Ray titles are higher than any *current* hd-dvd title,
but the top 10 HD-DVD titles outsell all the other blu-ray titles.

If I were to buy one, yes. I don't want any sony or disney movies.
Regardless, Sony isn't going to bet their company on Blu-ray, and if HD-DVD
sales end up being higher, Sony will release titles for it.

forgetting that NEC and Sanyo are also behind HD-DVD, not to mention Intel.

Depends on whether or not Sony rapes it's partners, as usual.
