We're winning the war on movie sales, claims Blu-ray
The Blu-ray standards group claimed at CES that
Blu-ray has overtaken HD-DVD in terms of sales of Hollywood movies, and that it now has a clear edge over its rival.
This is despite a year of setbacks for Blu-ray, including the delayed launch of Sony's Playstation 3 games console, which uses the technology. The PS3, which has yet to ship in Europe, is one of seven Blu-ray players available in the US, including the dual-mode LG (see above).
