This gives a good take at what's really going on in the USA. It's better checking these numbers than the rants of Amazon sales ranks. Though the amazon sales ranks tend to mirror these trends, they are not accurate since they don't incorporate sales from other outlets.

What's interesting about these numbers this week is that it's before the Transformers week which ran concurrently with the BDs "Buy one, get one free" offer.

Also it show just how weak HD-DVD would be without the para/dream buy out.

Expect the numbers to be more in BD's favor next week. I predict roughly 76:24 OR better.

Bubbles will be appreciated!

BD has extended its lead over HD DVD .Currently it is outselling HD DVD 6:1 in NA

cuco336032d ago (Edited 6032d ago )

These numbers are for LAST week, not this week. This was expected since BD had an 8:1 release week with HD DVD's only 'hope' in sales to be a comedy (Evan Almighty), something that in general doesn't sell too well for HDM. Don't look at weekly sales for how the formats are doing as the only number, look at overall.
I was off by my prediction by 2 points.

Thanks for trying though troll

chasegamez6032d ago

boy ran out and picked up
transformers hd-dvd
and try 2 play it ps3 and 360

paracardium6032d ago

BlueRay is the winner no matter what anyone says these sales prove it more and more each week.

cuco336032d ago

a few weeks ago when BD won 54:46 shows BD is always the winner when it has 10 times the players and that week better releases as well?

Embrace both.

Isn't approving the story. How funny. It's not like these types of stories aren't posted all the time. Fact of the matter is that the HD war does in some way affect all of us gamers. Especially the ones who bought a PS3 or the HD-DVD add on. BD is dominating in sales of software. This Christmas is going to be a landslide in BD's favor.

ktchong6032d ago

Yeah, but not individual weekly home video sales charts. This is still a gaming site, may I remind you.

Primetimebt6032d ago

and must we remind you what your next XBOX will carry next gen? You'll only have Sony "fanboys" to thank for it because just maybe the XBOX could have a game that can be over 10 hours..

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
