If only there were new release titles that could maintain the revenue at this level....sadly there isn't.

Pineapple Express, Death Race, Eagle Eye, Max Payne...I don't even see a big release on the schedule through April 30th 2009 that could deliver TDK type numbers....

Hope Springs Eternal....................]]>Dec 20th 2008 6:31PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/The Day the Earth Stood Still

most of the studios are expecting a boost in blu-ray content sales in january/february, after the newly sold players actually start getting used.]]>Dec 21st 2008 12:57AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/morning and then purchase Blu-Ray movies for them within those first
few weeks. I bought my parents a Blu-Ray player but I'm not getting
them more than 2 movies if only because they are too expensive! Well,
that, and the player wasn't cheap. Since this number right here was
predominantly Dark Knight, I'm guessing that's the default movie
gifted with players, too (Sorry, mom and dad, I'm predictable, it
seems).

Meanwhile, not a lot of people are going to rush out to buy DVDs
(cheap enough to have been gifts is how I'm reading this $461
million) because they got a decent chunk for Christmas if they're
sticking with DVD.

Planet Earth is going to top the scales again on Blu-Ray as will a
few other HD rich titles that weren't gifted as heavily (What's
Planet Earth going for these days? $60? $80? It's like $10 and 2
bubble gum rappers if you want it in HD-DVD at Fry's, I think).

Decent Blu-Ray sales post-Christmas but lower DVD sales (lower
compared to these numbers, I mean) adds up to a higher % for Blu-Ray.
Unsubstantiated optimism (and parentheticals) FTW! WHOO!]]>Dec 20th 2008 11:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/12/20/nielsen-videoscan-high-def-market-share-for-week-ending-december/
