| Re: HD DVD Staying Power Amazon has been tried to be understood for some time on AVS and their prediction threads. Basically, the conclusion is that Amazon does not correlate with actual disc sales trends. When Amazon runs a Blu-ray promo, the Amazon data shifts Blu. When Amazon runs a HD DVD promo, the data shifts HD DVD. Blu-ray has been extremely consistent week after week with about a 2:1 advantage when you combine all retail sales data. Its fun to watch the Amazon numbers in real time, but they just don't mean that much. |
