I think we'll see the first big problem with the numbers this week -- they don't include WalMart.

Numbers don't include WalMart?! How can you not include the biggest retailer in sales? I'm so confused, lol.
The studios would not look twice at Nielsens, what's important to them is the total number shipped, and at the moment HD DVD will be shipping plenty.
