NPD: Sky Isn't Falling for HD-DVD, Blu-ray Isn't Champ Yet
01/24/08
Sales data for HD-DVD and Blu-ray players and movies has been misconstrued lately by various outlets, with reports implying that HD-DVD sales have fallen at an amazing pace while Blu-ray sales have blasted through the roof.
Not so fast, says the NPD Group.
While select articles have implied that HD-DVD as a format is doomed and the sky is falling for the format's supporters, the NPD Group this afternoon reinforced that sales results from a single week do not necessarily indicate a trend, and that the week in question had several intriguing variables that have gone unreported.

Now would anyone be surprised that the BDA is doing this?

Makes no difference what the figures are. Anyone can report whatever regarding the industry at large. In my household the facts remain the same. I decided against buying a previously planned for second HD DVD player, and I am now focusing squarely at BD movies and entertainment unless its only offered on HD DVD and I really, really, really have to have it.

Yep. Doesn't matter anymore because perception is new reality. If it was FUD, it isn't anymore. As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way the HD-DVD camp will be able to recover from this.
Game over.
