I'd like to add, too bad this isn't indicative of the entire market. Walmart moved tons of players this past week and that isn't even reflected.
Since the Neilsen stats are one week behind, we wouldn't have really seen the impact of the 90,000+ HD-DVD players that were recently unleashed into the wild.
