Blu-ray outselling HD-DVDs in 2007

Joystiq.com has an interesting article directed towards the recent Nielsen VideoScan sales figures in which Blu-ray movies outsold HD-DVDs over 2 to 1.

“It should be noted that during those first two weeks of January the only high-def titles released were two Blu-ray movies: The Covenant (Jan. 2) and Crank (Jan. 9). Also, if we are to credit PS3 for the Blu-ray sales spike, we should notice that not a single PS3 game was released during that two-week period (see: PS3 release schedule). There’s reason for Sony to be proud that allegedly 90% of PS3 users have watched a Blu-ray movie; but from our perspective, we’d be just as willing to applaud if that percentage dipped in favor of deeper gaming experiences.”

At least this is some slightly good news for Sony no matter how it may be illustrated.
