Original Tile reads ;-

which is translated as :-

" * Emphasizing "9:1" present conditions
As for HD DVD opposite BD "part house" opposite "home appliance house"? "

1.1 - Never claimed that the 9:1 in Japan thing was wrong..

..Merely the 8:1 stat for the EU that you used, and the fact that it was contradictory to the article you posted saying '4:1 in EU'.

EDIT: nasim

I don't deny that stat! And in my opinon, Bluray is winning the format war overall. All i ask is that you stop posting things like 'Bluray outselling HD DVD 4:1 in EU' without any proof of that particular stat. You have proof of Bluray outselling HD DVD in Japan, its in that picture, and i haven't said that stat is wrong! But please stop posting stuff in the comments section with no proof, or when you say things that are right, people wont believe them.

Also, i'll approve this thread if you remove that wierd ????? bit. The main story of this is that BR is outselling HD DVD in Japan 9:1, you can see that from the pic. i don't think the
"¦ ?9:1???????
HD DVD?BD??????????????"
is needed

Pretty soon the only thing you can buy in Japan is either DVD or Blu-ray. 10 percent of sales means stores won't even hold HD-DVD because they are actually losing money.

3 - You've done it again!!

Made up a random stat! i cant see anywhere on your link where it says this 8:1 thing you are saying! not to mention that in the article you wrote for this, you claim 4:1 sales!

EDIT : Well, atleast you have removed the contradictory statement in the article.

Stores here in Japan haven't held HD-DVD at all from what I can tell. I have never seen one. Only Blue Ray. And they are usually in the PS3 section.

Not just Japan, Blu-ray is winning everywhere. And the PS3 is only $50 more expensive (or even cheaper) than the Xbox 360. It's looking grim for people who decided to support the 360 and only the 360. I'm rich enough to own both, fortunately.

I dont know I think HDdvd is doing prett well in my opinion, yes they dont have as much publicity and not as many movies but it still seems that HD is still trying to prove that they are better the BR. I dont seem to care as long as I get some High Def movies which I do but it is getting a a tad annoying seeing 3:1,5:1,4:1 articles everyday, this is a gaming site is it not? I dont understand why we need to keep knowing about how the Movie business is doing every day it just plain seems asinine to keep brining it up....but I guess ps3 adopters think its their ace in the hole so we will keep seeing these type of news post....:SIGH:

i dont want to pay more money for a HD-DVD.
