155,000 XBox 360 HD-DVD players sold....

in the US.

There were also some surprising stats given. Microsoft was reluctant to tell us how many HD DVD drives for the Xbox 360 it has sold worldwide, but it did tell us that in the US it has shifted 155,000 of them. This is apparently the biggest-selling accessory Microsoft has ever sold for the 360.

What was more surprising is that people buying HD DVD players, on the whole, bought more discs than people buying Blu-ray players. So even though Blu-ray has sold more hardware, including the PlayStation 3, the owners are only buying an average of one disc to play on them. On HD DVD this number is an average of four discs.

That's because there is no other use for the HD DVD xbox add on, is there?

155k is a nice number, but now that it is out in the open does not really add much to the HD-DVD player numbers. Perhaps this is why Toshiba never wants to include console numbers in their releases. BD would outnumber them 3:1.

But studios look at attach rate per player.
And the other point of interest..."This is apparently the biggest-selling accessory Microsoft has ever sold for the 360."
