  • Certain Blu-Ray, HD DVD Discs Sell Poorly

    Recent high-def disc releases (like Blu-ray editions of 'Casino Royale') have indicated solid sales. Now, however, a new Sony research report sees some alarmingly low sales figures for other titles issued on next-gen formats (thanks Slashdot).

    While these charts confirm the previously reported strong showings for such A-list titles as 'The Departed' 'Batman Begins' and 'Superman Returns' (with each clocking per-format sales totals since-inception of at least 28,000 units sold), they also demonstrate a very steep drop-off for titles outside of that top rung, with even discs among the top-ten best sellers that week moving fewer than 1000 units apiece...

    ...While we should note that the VideoScan numbers are not all-inclusive (for example, they don't include discs sold at Wal-Mart or some online merchants), the lower sales numbers at the bottom end of weekly list and on display elsewhere in the report (where some titles are listed as selling fewer than 200 units since inception) are certainly still a sobering reminder that both formats still have a long way to go in their shared quest to supplant standard-def DVD.
