Blu-ray sales are starting to pull away from hd-dvd sales in
Amazon.com.
Although actual sales numbers are unavailable for amazon (unlike
DVDemmpire, which reports Blu-ray sales at 65% versus hd-dvd at 35%),
it is somewhat possible to gauge sales based on sales rankings,
although caveats must be employed.
BD is beating hd-dvd in terms of
1. Salesrank of top 10 products
2. Salesrank of top 25 products
3. # of titles in top 1000
Below is a snapshot of the top sales rankings for BD vs hd-dvd:

from:

Considering that:
1. More Blu-ray titles are slated to be released on specific dates
this year
2. The number of blu-ray players versus hd-dvd playerswill continue
will continue to grow
It can be surmised that it sales of Blu-ray will continue to gain
distance from hd-dvd sales.
Who would want to buy a hi-def player that can't play movies from FIVE
major studios, including Disney, Columbia/MGM/Sony, Lionsgate, and
20th century Fox!??!!!
