Close call. but blu-ray has out sold HD yet again

"Blu-ray Disc titles began outselling HD DVD titles early in the year and have consistently maintained an edge, week after week. Even Paramount Home Entertainment?s release of the DreamWorks theatrical blockbuster Transformers exclusively on the HD DVD format didn?t tip the scale last week. Though there was no hot new Blu-ray Disc release, consumers continued to buy more Blu-ray Discs than HD DVDs for the week ended Oct. 21, albeit by a slim 51% to 49% edge. Paramount says Transformers sold 190,000 units its first week in stores, but Home Media Magazine market research and studio estimates puts the actual number of units that sold through to consumers closer to 115,000."

It's hard to believe either one. Paramount can blow the number up and Home Media really doesn't know as it does say "estimates."

But this isn't surprising news anyways. Blu-ray is always beating HD-DVD.
