No offense Ben but this chart is kind of useless if it only compares the top 20 vs top 20. We all know long tail for DVD goes way beyond the top 20. It will only serve to over inflate the success of Blu-Ray.
Why is it "overinflating" the success of Blu-ray to directly compare sales of both formats on new release titles? To me it would make a lot less sense to compare the overall sales of DVD with more than 90,000 titles available to Blu-ray with only 500 titles available.
Shoot, you have to admit that if 12.6 percent of buyers of a new release like Hitman are opting for the BD during the first five days, that's a very fair comparison.
