HD-DVD players outsell Blu-ray players 4 to 1.

It seems that the next generation high definition movie format war between HD-DVD and Blu-ray is far from over.

According to the latest statistics on Amazon, HD-DVD is absolutely crushing Blu-ray to the tune of 4 to 1. Out of the top 20 " most popular items in DVD Players and Recorders" HD-DVD occupies 4 different slots, including the #1 slot. On the Blu-Ray side things are not looking so good with only 1 slot and it sits at #20. See the list here.

Blu-ray does at the moment have more support and backing from movie studios. However with HD-DVD posting sales numbers like these movie studios may start to make the jump or at the very least begin publishing for both formats. Do not forget that this is a money game and publishers wants their titles published on the largest installed base possible.

One thing is for certain. This holiday shopping season will be very interesting.
 
HD DVD probably does best on Amazon because if you want a player they are hard to find locally. The big retailers have BD up front and center and are hiding HDDVD.
 

HD DVD players lead in HD sales
